Ministry for the Men at Grace

The men of Grace will be studying the reformation and the many who helped us steer through Man's attempt to use it for all the wrong reasons and bring us back to God's Word and undefiled truth.

Beginning Sept. 14, 2011: The church men's group will be studying The Reformation: How a Monk and a Mallet Changed the World by Stephen Nicholas. Why? As Nicholas, asserts, "The Reformation Matters."

»» Christians from all walks of life labored, suffered and sacrificed to keep God's Word true and undefiled by Man. Also, church history can be humbling as we realize that we are not a whole lot better and smarter and godlier than people in the past but, rather, should be humbled by the spiritual insight and spiritual depth of our predecessors in the faith. fourth, we learn what matters most to the Christian faith when we look to church history in general the the Reformation in particular.

»» An appreciation of the history of the reformation can help us learn what matters most to our faith.  This book serves as a brief and popular introduction to the Reformation, and in particular, to the key figures in each of the nations involved. From Martin Luther and and the Reformation in Germany to Ulrich Zwingli and Switzerland and then to the Anabaptists. From there we go to John Calvin, Thomas Cramner and other English Reformers, and then we meet the Puritans. The final chapter introduces many of the women of the Reformation, both those notable for being the wives of the Reformers and those who made substantive contributions on their own.
