Description
Publisher's Description of John Chrysostom: The Preacher in the Emperor's Court by Dayspring MacLeod (Trailblazers)
There was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He
was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his
preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden
Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to
host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on.
This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of
Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians
cared little for the poor: “It is madness to fill your cupboards with
clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the
cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It
didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth –
emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually
led to his exile and death.
The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Dayspring MacLeod will challenge young readers to speak up for God as John Chrysostom did.
