The Secret of the Strength: What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation?

The Secret of the Strength: What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation?

Peter Hoover

  • 795


“The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you,” Christ told his followers. And a few fishermen, a tax collector, and a motley group of believers set out to change the world. In fact, they succeeded. In 16th-century Europe, the Anabaptists preaching in cities by night, on back streets, and in secret corners set out to do the very thing the apostles had done. They, too, turned the world of their day upside down. What was the secret of their strength? In this book, Hoover explains what gave the Anabaptists their incredible spiritual strength. The “secret of the kingdom of God” is stunningly simple. With two words Christ revealed it to His disciples. Upon comprehending it, His disciples came to a sudden knowledge of the will of God, of the whole Bible, and of the right way to live. This book is more than an Anabaptist history; it is a challenge to all Christ-followers to put the teachings of Jesus into practice and to be part of a Kingdom movement that transcends the man-made boundaries of denomination. (312pp. illus.

Choice history and personal challenge

When I first picked up this book off a friends bookshelf in Maine many years ago, I could not stop from wonderment and thanks. I borrowed the book and read it thoughtfully through and was very moved by the Spirit of the Lord, who has worked through the testimony of so many who went before us. A must read for anyone interested in their roots in faith. A testimony of people who read the scriptures and believed them and chose to follow their convictions as the Lord led them by His spirit.
