A Spectacle Unto God

Christopher Love was a rising star in the world of Puritan ministry. A close friend of Thomas Manton and admired by Richard Baxter, Love was executed by Cromwell's forces for treason because of his loyalty to Charles II. A member of the Westminster Assembly, Love was read and respected by Jonathan Edwards. In this warm biography, Don Kistler tells the story of this little-known Puritan, and his early death for his religious and political convictions. The story of Christopher Love is weaved around the letters he wrote from prison to his wife Mary Love. Historically accurate, relationally poignant, and spiritually challenging.
