Patrick of Ireland by Michael A G Haykin

Patrick ministered to kings and slaves alike in the culture that had enslaved him. Patrick’s faith and his commitment to the Word of God through hard times is a true example of the way that God calls us to grow and to bless those around us through our suffering. Michael Haykin’s masterful biography of Patrick’s life and faith will show you how you can follow God’s call in your life. Early Church Fathers: The series relates the magnificent impact that these fathers of the early church made for our world today.

Judicious.. knowledgeable...insightful... Readers will be impressed.

-- D. H. Williams

Michael Haykin paints a compelling portrait of this bibliocentric bishop and earnest evangelist. The dedicated missionary and thoughtful theologian that emerges belongs to the Gospel-loving global church and not just the Emerald Isle.

-- Paul Hartog

To read this account is to fill us with thankfulness for the Lord's work in history and with hopefulness for... another era of lost-ness.

-- Edward Donnelly

Beautifully detailed portrait in miniature... all Christians will benefit from learning more about this mighty figure in the great cloud of witnesses.

-- Lewis Ayres

A fine balance between a biography of an extraordinary servant of Jesus Christ and an explanation of the beliefs that sustained Patrick.

-- Michael Ovey
