Godspeed by David Teems

Godspeed: Voices of the Reformation by [Teems, David]

Here is the book summary:
For the Protestant reformer, times were treacherous. The reformer lived, moved, and exercised his or her faith within the shadow of a powerful church that dominated Western culture. Many of these men and women paid the ultimate price for their faith. 

Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Godspeed is a 365-day devotional that features the words of prominent reformers, including Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Calvin, and others, thoughtfully illuminated by best-selling author David Teems with both historical precision and charm. 

Godspeed: Voices of the Reformation possesses a startling relevance for today’s reader, offering a word of hope and comfort. The reformer’s voice is clear and bright and comes to us with the authority of heaven.

And now, my review:
Godspeed is a devotional book based on the reformation and having just passed 500 years of celebrating it, I found a great interest in reading this book.  It also just so happens that at the same time of reading this book it fit so nicely with the historical studies that were going on in our classroom at school.  I found that the author adds bits and pieces of so many voices over the time of the Reformation.  They are written in such a way that really makes you think and ponder and read them more than once to get the concept at times of what he’s saying.  Personally, to me, I thought there were great devotional writings scattered throughout. 

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
