- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book for practical Christian living. It is theology in practice.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An extremely helpful book for Christians. It helps us to walk with better steps towards heaven
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brief and straight-to-the-point. Those insightful words of Calvin still ring so relevantly in our 21st-century ears and make so much sense. May the Scripture guide us back to orthodoxy and transforms our lives to the cross.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A short but packed book on the practicalities of living as a Christian, derived from the the great tome of Calvin's Institutes. I will keep this by my side as a source of practical spiritual guidance and a devotional. I wish the actual book had chosen more attractive cover art (why banana leaves?!), but that is a small complaint.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely the best book on the Christian life second only to the Bible.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I never tire of listening to it over and over again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent book on the temporary life we live as we prepare for eternity. This book was so encouraging and practical!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A little book taken from Calvin's Institutes. Calvin does a great job in laying out the expectations of the Christian in his new walk with Christ. However, Calvin, per usual, is clear that it is not a call to legalism but one of desire to follow after God's desire and to grow towards perfection in Christ and in this life suffer as strangers in a strange world. My book ended up having a lot of highlights and bookmarks. This wasn't a quick read as with most Calvin's writings - one based in difficulty of truth not in material. Final Grade - A
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent concise book of Calvin's ideas about the Christian life.
