Bitesize Biography - JOHN CHRYSOSTOM
ISBN: 9780852347720
Author: Earl M. Blackburn
Format: Paperback 198 x 129

Chrysostom is proof positive that the mediatorial Lord of heaven and earth rules and overrules in the affairs of men and that he sometimes takes his servants through dark and soul-jarring providences to cause his Word to triumph at last.
