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. Heartily commended! -

Simonetta Carr's wonderful biography of John Owen is the third book
in what I hope will be a growing collection of biographies of
Christian heroes. In clear, unembellished language Carr chronicles
the life of the "Prince of Puritans" through a tumultuous period of
English history. This book manages to be simple without being
shallow. Young readers will admire the integrity of Owen's
conscience as a man living in a difficult time and relish the rich
descriptions of Owen's theological genius. This is a masterful
book. I trust that many others will follow. -Tedd Tripp
This book is delightful, both in its illustrations and in the way
it presents the Puritan John Owen. While far from perfect, Owen was
a man who lived in a tumultuous time, and through it he tried to
live faithfully before God. Simonetta Carr wonderfully takes
readers on a brief journey through Owen's life, a journey that will
be enjoyed by children and adults alike. - Kelly M. Kapic
