Michael Spotts says: For those uninitiated, don't be daunted by fears of difficult listening. Calvin's work is direct, edifying, and honest. I listened to it while mowing the lawn and riding my bike to and from work. If you are looking for ornate language, look elsewhere as the great reformer makes no attempt to be unnecessarily prolix (like I just was). His point is to be understood by the youngest believer, to glorify God in Christ, and to give sound wisdom for effective prayer. #

AudioFile Magazine says: The sixteenth-century French theologian John Calvin’s magnum opus was THE INSTITUTION OF CHRISTIAN RELIGION. These two chapters from that discourse offer biblical definitions on how to engage with God in prayer through "proper thought and attitude." James Adams’s academic sounding voice is an excellent fit. With perfect diction and timing he delivers Calvin’s ideas about why self-denial is important and what role patience should play in Christian life. His effortless-sounding narration makes accessible Calvin’s examination of faith and piety and his beliefs about what should be the Christian attitude toward one’s life in the present and the future. Adams’s presentation glorifies God in Christ and can be understood by the youngest believer. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2010] #
