Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
"In her book about the life and travels of John Calvin, Simonetta Carr has provided Christians parents a valuable resource to educate their children in the older and far surpassing heritage of their Christian faith. While many men and women suffered a great personal cost to free man from superstition and empty ritual, John Calvin is without equal in telling men why the Scriptures, and in particular, the Lord Jesus Christ, is important to their life and well-being."
Thomas McManus
Principal of Covenant Christian School, Chula Vista, CA
"Here is a reliable account of the life and ministry of John Calvin. It is so well written and well illustrated it will be an education and a delight for children."
Dr. Hywel R. Jones
Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California
"The parents of four ourselves, my wife and I are eager to learn of new materials we can use and recommend. This is surely a resource that we would noise abroad. A translator of Reformed materials into Italian as well as a teacher, Simonetta is remarkably gifted. She knows the history and theology of the Reformation well, yet also knows how to translate’ for our children. The Reformed community really needs this kind of edifying literature for our covenant youth."
Michael Horton
