For Kirk and Covenant is a biography about John Knox. It is divided into three parts: The Life of John Knox, The Character of John Knox, and The Legacy of John Knox. Part One is about how he came to be a reformer, what he did as one, the rivalries he caused against the Roman Catholics, and his ministry up unto his death. Part Two is the charactaristics of love, revenge, courage, mercy, balance, tenderness, humility, adversaries, study, humor, obediance, churchman, patience, tradition, patriot, theologian, fraternity, vision, zeal, provocation, clarity, family, virtue, hatred, orator, prophet, integrity, faults,death, and greatness. Part Three is how Knox influenced the reformation of Scotland and what followed after his death.
I thought that For Kirk and Covenant was a good book. I liked that Mr. Wilson included a chapter on John Knox's faults. Many authors would just include his good points and leave it at that. I liked that he told of what happened before the Reformation so that you understood why it was in such bad need of it, and that he told of what happened after the Reformation.

Knox is one of my heroes and a part of the reason is that he isn't perfect by any means. It's good to remember that.
