This small-format short biography on John Knox narrates his journey in his fight to advance the Reformed faith. He grew up in a tradition that said you can be saved through works, but Knox realized the error in this thought. He became a passionate preacher of God’s word, telling people only Christ could save them. Although marketed to younger readers, a better plan may be for younger readers to study with a parent or teacher. For each page spread, one page has short, easy-to-read text and a large illustration, but the opposite pages have quite big blocks of text that would likely be difficult for a beginning reader. A parent may choose to read the long section and then let the child try the shorter section. Colorful illustrations abound throughout. 24 pgs, pb.

Description
Publisher's Description of John Knox: Who Will Save You? by Catherine Mackenzie
John Knox was a bright young lad who grew up to be a strong
fighter for freedom and liberty. He had a gentle but fiercely loyal
heart and became a stalwart defender of the reformed faith. He thundered
the truth that neither good works, popes or priests can save you from
sin - but Christ alone. This fiery Scot refused to give in to religion
or royalty - it was the Bible, the Word of God that was his standard.
