It is the late fifteenth century. The medieval Roman Church, collapsing under the weight of its own corruption, has, thus far, resisted calls from within for serious reformation, and resisted with barbaric cruelty. John Wycliffe has been dead for a hundred years, his bones having been burned in 1427, and Lollardy has been crushed (yet not exterminated – ‘heresy’ simmers just beneath the surface). But Rome has more to contend with than internal pressures for reform. Christendom is besieged by an enemy from the east and south. The consequences of the papal schism have so weakened the papacy that the decadent Church is impotent in the face of the persistent and growing threat of Islam. So much so, Christendom has been banished to the north-western extremity of the known world, the Church long since having been driven out of Africa by the warring hordes of Mohammed, his followers then moving on into Spain – where, for seven hundred years, they have kept their hold. Constantinople fell to the Saracen in 1453. Venice and Rome are threatened. And Christendom has suffered all this, despite the treasure in blood and gold which it has lavished on the Crusades. In the late fifteenth century, Islam can boast five times – five times – as many adherents as Christianity. Christianity is doomed.
Or so it must have seemed.
But... But God...
God does not need mortals – but he usually chooses to work through men and women to accomplish his purposes. So it was in the late fifteenth century. One of the men God used at that time is the man I want to speak to you about – John Colet.

John Colet A Preacher To Be Reckoned With edition by David HJGay Religion Spirituality eBooks
This is an excellent story of a preacher I had only known of in name - John Colet. He was in many ways a man of his times (1466-1519), but then, aren't we all? Colet never came out of the Roman Catholic Church, but he was a preacher of the ilk of John Wycliffe. Colet is to be remembered foremost as a faithful preacher of the Christ of the Scriptures.This book gives a brief biography of Colet and concludes with six lessons that can be learned from his life. David Gay writes well! You may be interested in some other titles from his pen, also available on Amazon. In particular I recommend Battle for the Church, The Voyage of Freedom (for children), and Particular Redemption and the Free Offer.
