Honouring those who gave their lives

WITH MERCY AND WITH JUDGEMENT:
Strict Baptists and the First World War
By Matthew J. Hyde
Gospel Standard Trust. 552 pages.
£13 plus £2.85 p&p
ISBN 978 1 897 837 566

Oh, the madness of war – yet even this can bring glory to God! This book is an outstanding piece of work relating to the First World War, 1914-18, and it mirrors the horrors of hatred and the power of weapons, including the use of gas!

Reading it, I was constantly reminded of Isaiah 40.6-8: ‘All flesh is grass … all the goodliness thereof as … the flower of the field … grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand for ever’.
