The Protestant Reformation had redrawn the map of the Christian world. Now the Church sought to take the hope of the Christian Gospel where it had not been before.
The nearly three centuries covered in this volume give us a picture of the incredible energy and great expansion of the Church throughout the world, and the people who led the way through a variety of abilities that God gave them:

Medieval times weren't to be misleading times.
During the Middle Ages the church laboured to build a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities in which the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux answered the call to reform that community and theology.
This was a Church that sought to reign, love and conquest, a Church that wanted to secure freedom, and proclaim the gospel. When that Church fell into corruption it undertook its own reform.
As the church moves forward, we can have hope in the God who loves His Church, in each Age as we seek to live in His name. And when the church's leaders drifted from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers in Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus arose to call God's people back to the grace of God.

If Jesus were to sit down with you right now and have a DTR (Define the Relationship) conversation, how would you respond? In Not a Fan Student Edition, bestselling author Kyle Idleman challenges you to go beyond fandom into a true follower relationship with Jesus.
If someone asked, Are you a fan of Jesus?, how would you answer? You attend every movie featuring a certain actor, you know the stats of your sports hero, and you can recite lyrics from your favorite songs. That's a fan. But are you treating Jesus the same as the other people you admire?
The truth is Jesus wants more than the church attendance, occasional prayer, and the ability to recite Scripture--the fan response. He's looking for people who are actually willing to sacrifice in order to follow him. In this student edition of Not a Fan, Kyle Idleman uses humor, personal stories, and biblical truth as he challenges you to look at what it means to call yourself a Christian and follow the radical call Jesus presents. So, will you be a fan, or a follower?
Many of today's students know about Jesus--a teacher who traveled around the Jewish countryside giving sermons, healing diseases, and casting out demons, before finally dying on the cross to save humanity. Some may even believe Jesus died for their sins. But for many students, their relationship with Christ is similar to the feelings they have for their favorite band--they know the facts, know the greatest hits, and may have the gear that shows their loyalty. In short, they're fans of Jesus. But is that enough?
Similar to the adult book, Not a Fan: Student Edition includes funny stories, personal reflections, and deep, biblical content, calling teenagers to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the one who gave his all for them.
First published in 1529, Martin Luther's The Small Catechism was written for the education of children in religious doctrine. It reviews The Ten Commandments, The Lord's Prayer, the Sacraments of Baptism, the Alter and the Eucharist, along with other important religious and biblical tenets in a clear, concise and easy to understand format. It has long been considered as one of Martin's most important writings and is seen as an authoritative text on the beliefs of the Lutheran Church. The Small Catechism was required reading for confirmation into the church for centuries. Luther distilled the Church's teachings down to their most essential elements so that pastors and parents alike can pass the Lutheran doctrine and tradition down to the next generation. Remarkable for its wealth of information in a condensed and accessible form, Luther's masterpiece of religious instruction has continued to provide guidance and answers to both the young and old. The Small Catechism remains an important and essential addition to any collection of religious literature, as well as a useful and practical daily prayer book for families and churches. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Protesting Protestants.
Spiritual darkness had swept across the continent.
Throughout the Christian lands of Europe, the clarity of God's grace given through Jesus Christ had dimmed. A system of human effort designed to achieve God's favor meant people were confused about Scripture, about salvation, and about the purpose of life.
But in those dark times, light dawned.
To rekindle the Church, a radical reformation was needed. Brave individuals challenged long-held teachings that had drifted from Scripture. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Thomas Cranmer led movements of reformation in their nations. They called the church back to basics: the clear teaching of the Bible, to Christ, to faith, to grace, to life to the glory of God. Others, such as Patrick Hamilton, William Tyndale, and Lady Jane Grey, sought to continue this enterprise, sometimes at the cost of their lives.
These bold Christians--called Protestants for their protest against the established and wayward Church practices of the day--sought to be faithful to Christ in their world and, in the process, they offered in a new world that endures today.
