"Simonetta Carr’s book on John Owen is a delightful introduction to his life for the very young. In the tradition of her earlier books on Calvin and Augustine, she retells Owen’s story with flair and passion, and accompanies it with great illustrations which help to make his life and times vivid and exciting.
