Recommended Book: Sketches of the Covenanters by JC McFeeters

Sketches of the Covenanters by J.C. McFeeters was originally published in 1913 and is now in the Public Domain.  This was one of the first books I read regarding the Scottish Covenanters and the killing times in Scotland. J.C. McFeeters captured my imagination as I could feel the tender love of the Covenanters for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while picturing the mossy moors, hillsides and caves where these brave, noble followers of Christ were forced to hide in order to worship God according to their conscience. This book presents a touching and historical picture of a cruel period in history when King Charles I betrayed Scotland's trust and tried to exert himself as king over both state and church. It covers both the political and religious aspects of freedom the Covenanters lived and died for. I encourage all students of the Bible and Church history to read it.

The Church, as a whole, has invalidated and incapacitated herself for this responsibility, by weakness, declension, and compromise. God does not commit His testimony to the Church, while in such condition; nor to the faithful in the Church, whose voice and actions are weakened or neutraliz
