In reading these stories I saw new light shed on the nature of Calvin's character, particularly in his desire, when possible, to work through hard issues for the sake of the Gospel. Also evident was the tenuous nature of life for the Reformers of the 16th century, not only from persecution to the point of martyrdom, but also in dealing with things such as the plague as ever-present threats that no one was immune to.
All-in-all I enjoyed this book. Calvin was a giant as a reformer and this book shows that while he may have led the way for many others, the reformation of the 16th century was very much a team effort. It was a delight to learn of his teammates and how they worked together towards the goal of letting the Gospel light shine forth.
