We take our religious liberties for granted and so few know or appreciate the hardship, trials, and suffering of our forefathers. This daily inspiration is concise and spirit-provoking. An excellent companion to any serious Bible student's daily devotions.
The result of four years of meticulous Baptist research.

This book provides a slice of Baptist history without regard to a chronological time table. The continuity promised by the Savior's statement "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (My church) are taken literally by the authors. The price paid by faithful Baptists through the years to secure and practice religious freedom is well documented in cases of those who suffered persecution and martyrdom for the preservation of truth. The Baptist's view of Scripture, the ordinances, polity and perpetuity are all clearly and concisely taught through illustrations that grip the heart. The document is completed foot-noted with a tremendously lenghy bibliography. This is "must reason" for those who are seriously interested in the subject of Baptist history.
A book rich in history with valuable devotional content.

This Day in Baptist History is in a very easy to read format of daily devotions, rich in history of the many men and women who took a stand througout the years and made a difference. Though it serves as a devotional, it is much more than that. It is a valuable addition to anyones library to serve as a theological history text. I was especially moved by the reports of those who gave their lives willingly to further the faith they held so dear.We have used this book in our own home to teach our children to appreciate the faith we so often take for granted.We are looking forward to the publication of VOLUME TWO!!
