This was a beautiful picture of faithful servants. I praise the Lord for such genuine faith that stood for the right thing. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5

A book hard to find words for. A true must-read for every Christian, in order to recognize the spirit of anti-Christ in the Roman Catholic 'Church'.
It fortunately does not endorse Calvin, but some caution is required when it comes to his, Luther's or very often Augustine's name (the latter usually used by the enemy, but surprisingly also by the martyrs).
A beautiful aspect of the book is that the author showed who were the true reformers, the Waldensians.
Caution is required when the author endorses quiet contemplation as done by the monks.
