A Popular Account of the Life and Times of John Calvin
The publishing of this book is a direct fruit of the reading and publishing of Under Calvin’s Spell by Deborah Alcock which is a great novel and gives a very good description of life in and around Geneva. However it tells little about Calvin himself. As a result I read Penning’s book and was quickly convinced that both books should be published as companion editions, Alcock’s book being the introduction and Penning’s book the “full” story. Also today the world needs to know it’s most important historical facts and since upon the mouth of two witnesses the truth of a matter is to be established we send out in these two books the true story of John Calvin.

In 1842, the U.S. government sent John Fremont out to map the rest of the unknown West. He couldn’t have done it without the help of the famous mountain man Kit Carson. Trappers and explorers had mapped much of the land, but Captain Fremont’s job was to fill in the gaps so that the map of America was complete. It was hard, dangerous work, but the job was too important to let anything stand in the way.

The Puritan poet John Milton is most famous for his massive theological epic Paradise Lost. He was also known as perhaps the greatest genius of the English Renaissance—possibly the best-educated man of his day—and also a major theorist of classical learning for Christians. The man who wrote the seminal words “The end then of Learning is to repair the ruines of our first Parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him . . .” (Of Education, 1644) argues across all his voluminous writings that the purpose of education is soul work for virtue as opposed to information gathering for profit.

This story brings to life one of the most important voyages of history, the sailing of the First Fleet, under Captain Phillip, to Botany Bay. With John and his sister, Sue, we share the excitements and hopes of the long sea-way, the sights and sounds of strange ports, the adventures of a little family following Papa, an officer of the Marines, to the then-unknown end of the earth. John gets into many a scrape with his dog, Gyp; he goes on exploring expeditions with Captain Phillip; he sees the ‘hopping animal’ of which he has heard so much, and manages to be in the midst of everything interesting as any boy would. The story is skillfully woven of true facts and incidents which might have happened to a boy lucky enough to sail as John sailed with Captain Arthur Phillip.

This is an inspiring children’s biography of the great musician Haydn. The story winds its way into the hearts of all music loving children: for it is told with all the understanding, sympathy and appreciation that its two inspired authors have to give. Be inspired by the musical beginning of the boy who later played before kings in palaces, and who has left us some of the most beautiful music ever written.

Much like an unexpected buried treasure, this narrative of a young Huron man has come to light again today. “Chiwatenwa’s” story, recaptured by author Antoinette Bosco from the records of the earliest Jesuit missionaries in Canada, portrays the man (who would one day be christened “Joseph”) in the fascinating details of his tribal culture. In Joseph Chiwatenwa the life of faith is on trial before his family and native people, with the verdict in the balance. Joseph’s story witnesses dramatically to the contest within human souls and even nations; it points to a goal beyond the limits of one’s own culture: the encounter of man with the fullness of truth.
