The Christian life, as Calvin describes it, is lived simultaneiously in the shadow of the cross and in the bright light of the resurrection. That the writer himself knew something of the cost of discipleship is clear from a consideration of his own experience. Review: A classic, beautifully rendered - I really like this translation published by the Banner of Truth Trust. It is very clear without being over-modernized, and does not make overuse of contractions to colloquialize the work. It has a soft, durable, imitation leather cover that is thick and durable, and the size makes it easy to carry. The paper is strong and the print is easily readable. A classic taken from The Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin. Review: Very nice edition - The cover is soft, the pages are of good quality, the binding is well made also. This book fits nicely in your pocket and it wears well. The print is easy to read. Should last for a long time!

Calvin at his Pastoral Best
The book is not leather bound, it is imitation leather but nevertheless it is a wonderful little book to own. It is compact, 3 3/4" x 5 1/'2" so you can take it anywhere and enjoy it. The type is not small but easy to read. The book is 150 pages with a subject and scripture index. This superb little spiritual guide is a distillation from Calvin's Institutes. Other versions of this same treatise have been called, "The Golden Booklet of the Christian Life", this is called, "A Guide to Christian Living". It is part of book 3 of the 1560 edition of "The Institutes". It is extremely practical and reminds us of why we are here (to live for God) and where we are headed and that this world is not our true home (if we are Christians). It offers spiritual guidance in day to day living and ranks as one of the most helpful and Biblical guides for living the Christian life ever penned.
