Comfort for the Faint-Hearted

When wrote this book in 1555, his world was torn by new religious divisions and on the brink of annihilation by the Turks. Blosius makes no mention of the problems of his age at all. He sets out to speak nothing but words of encouragement, to make his readers cheer up, persevere, and find hope in God. Above all, he proclaims the unconditional love of God, Who is on our side, not against us, and Who wills all men to be saved and works ceaseless miracles to ensure it.
