Manetsch, this devotional brings John Calvins profound theological reflections into conversation with contemporary readers, making his rich biblical exposition accessible for daily spiritual nourishment.
Drawing from Calvins vast collection of commentaries, sermons, and other writings, each daily reading opens a window into the Reformers pastoral heart and brilliant mind.
