    About The Book

    A classic testament to religious freedom with a timely message for modern believers, Love Is Like Fire radiates the passion of these early Anabaptists at a time when they were being executed for their commit­ment to believer’s baptism, nonviolence, and the restoration of a church free from political corruption.

    Peter Riedemann (1506-1556) was an Anabaptist minister. Stuart Murray, author of The Naked Anabaptist, is a trainer and consultant for church planting and urban mission with the Anabaptist Network. He is based in Bristol, England.
