  • In this session author Douglas Bond explores the life of John Knox, the great Reformer of Scotland, who is often remembered as something akin to a biblical prophet born out of time-strong and brash, thundering in righteous might. In truth, he was "low in stature, and of a weakly constitution," a small man who was often sickly and afflicted with doubts and fears. For those who see themselves as too weak, too small, too timid, or simply too ordinary for service in God's kingdom, Knox's life offers a powerful message of hope-the biblical truth that God often delights to work most powerfully through people who are most weak in themselves but most strong in Him.

    “The Mighty Weakness of John Knox” could be an off-putting title until we hear the account in its entirety, when it then makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing your extensive research on this dedicated follower of Christ.

    We are saved by Grace alone through faith alone lest any man should boast.

    This book is worthy to be included in every family library. We have purchased it by the box from Ligonier Ministries and plan on buying it in bulk yet again to give away.

    To my shame have been living in Edinburgh for 8 months and as a Presbyterian walked past St Giles on Royal Mile often totally oblivious to its connection with JK

    Again I want to recognise the poster of this video for leaving comments open. So often Ligonier Ministries seems afraid to allow any discussion or criticism of its speakers.

    Greetings from Scotland. Unfortunately Knox lacked love: I Cor. 13:4-8

    The RC Church never "required" anyone to light candles or pray to saints. Saying so is just dishonest.

      A typical uninformed Papist comment. You are completely delusional and you have to research for yourself.

      Not required or obligatory nonetheless candles and saints statues freely provided. Embrace the Mariolatry and necromancy if you wish to blaspheme the Almighty
