March Forward with the Word!: The Life of Conrad Grebel

In the midst of tall castles, warring pikemen, dreadful plagues, church decay, and the superstition and darkness of sixteenth-century Europe, the Anabaptist revival burst into flames. One of the first leaders was a partying university dropout who was transformed by Christ. He helped begin the Anabaptist movement, which gave rise to the Amish and Mennonites. Great for supplemental reading in a Christian history class! “How did Conrad Grebel, a Swiss university student/party-boy, unintentionally become a founder of the Anabaptist movement? This book, intended for teens through adults, answers that question and illustrates what happens when Jesus Christ grips the heart of a young man. Young people will find this readable book historically informative, soul-stirring, and age-appropriate.” —Chester Weaver Teacher, Historical Researcher “I was blessed by the life of Conrad Grebel. I would definitely recommend March Forward with the Word to my friends. I was inspired and challenged.” —An Anabaptist Youth
