How Mennonites Came To Be

by John C. Wenger

Fear, loneliness, and despair describe the pain so many people feel today. One alternative to the emptiness of our time is a living faith. How Mennonites Came To Be sets forth such a faith. It's a faith rooted in Jesus Christ and His word, a faith born of intense suffering and persecution. The author, a noted historian and biblical scholar, writes of the people he loves so well. His story touches the real meaning of life.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SMALL BOOK IT GIVES YOU A GOOD HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION AND THE ANABAPTISTS IN EUROPE WHICH EVENTUALLY PRODUCED MENNO SIMONS AND THE MIGRATION TO NORTH AMERICA OF THE MENNONITE FAITH. THIS WAS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF LITTLE BOOKS ENTITLED MENNONITE FAITH SERIES.
