Up till now, we have not had a complete English biography backed up by scholarly research. Engelsma has done the Reformed world a huge service by finally addressing this lack. Readers will learn about the remarkable life of the author of the Belgic Confession, and they will be inspired by his example of steadfastness under persecution. Well-researched and clearly written, this book makes the life of de Brès more accessible and interesting than ever.” — \u003cstrong\u003eWes Bredenhof\u003c\/strong\u003e, Reformed minister, author, and blogger\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This book is good history: Engelsma presents De Brès' life in its historical context. The reader learns about De Brès, the reformation more broadly, and the persecution that the Reformed endured. This book is also timely: its sets forth the example of a man whose life demonstrated the conviction of his faith. He suffered and died for the most fundamental cause, the cause of the gospel. May every reader come away with a greater resolve to live in accord with the Christian and Reformed faith, even if that occasions our death.” — \u003cstrong\u003eDouglas J.
