by Don Kistler
Christopher Love was a rising star in the world of Puritan ministry. A close friend of Thomas Manton and admired by Richard Baxter, Love was executed by Cromwell's forces for treason for his loyalty to Charles II. A member of the Westminster Assembly, Love was read and respected by Jonathan Edwards. In this warm biography, Don Kistler tells the story of this little-known Puritan, and his early death for his religious and political convictions.
Dr. J. I. Packer says of this book, "Stunning and heart-wrenching is the blend of sweetness, peace, love, and hope in nightmarish circumstances that (this story) contains. This is a poignant account of victorious faith that will stir every reader."
The story of Christopher Love is weaved around the letters he wrote from prison to his wife Mary Love. Historically accurate, relationally poignant, and spiritually challenging.
