"I am delighted to recommend Douglas Bond's book, The Mighty Weakness of John Knox . Bond has written many, mainly children's, books on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Scottish church history. He writes with the passion of a man who believes that the church today needs, for its spiritual good and sanity, to learn about the church of yesterday. In choosing to write a book on John Knox, Bond has done the church today a great service. Knox was the towering figure of the Scottish Reformation. In many ways, he was a reluctant hero, conscious as he was of his own weaknesses. However, as the title of the book makes plain, Knox's sense of weakness was overwhelmed by his sense of God's greatness. Indeed, as Bond shows us throughout his book, it was Knox's constant sense of his own weakness that enabled the Lord to use him so mightily in His service.


When Knox was asked to account for the wonderful success of the Scottish Reformation, he replied, 'God gave his Holy Spirit in great abundance to simple men.' Read this book. Learn from this book. Thank God for men like John Knox. Above all, pray that God would raise up like-minded and like-hearted men in our own day, and once again give His Holy Spirit in great abundance to men who are deeply conscious of their own weakness.".
