The above picture features an Anabaptist preacher of the 16th century, speaking to his audience in the fields...with the backdrop of a modern Anabaptist's material prosperity... "We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard, said the apostles marching directly into persecution. They had discovered the secret of Jesus' strength. We may discover it too, thanks to the clues left behind by those who loved not their lives even unto death. In this book you may find many clues." The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you," Christ told his followers-and a few fishermen, a tax collector, and a motley crowd of Jerusalem "believers" set out to change the world. They succeeded. In sixteenth century Europe, the Anabaptists preaching in cities by night, on back streets, and in wood corners behind rail fences began to do the same. What was their secret? In this book you may study what they accomplished as long as they remembered it and what they lost when they forgot it. Was their secret a return to the Bible? No, they were far more than biblicists. Was it a return to the apostolic way? No, they were far more than keepers of tradition. Fundamentalism and traditionalism have never held Christianity together nor made it work. The "secret of the kingdom of God" is stunningly simple. With two words Christ revealed it to his friends, who-upon comprehending it-came to a sudden knowledge of the will of God, of the whole Bible, and of the right way to live. The purpose of this book is to help many more to comprehend the same. Conrad Grebel, Menno Simons, Peter Rideman--what did these Anabaptists really say about conversion, separation from the world, the visible church, the meaning and mode of baptism, the frequency of communion, divorce and remarriage, community of goods, and many other issues? With its nearly four hundred quotes from sixteenth century writings (many of them original translations), and dozens of character sketches, this 300 page book is a serious attempt to answer the question of its subtitle: "What would the Anabaptists tell this generation?" "I highly recommend Peter Hoover's book, The Secret of the Strength. The teachings and sufferings of the early Anabaptists are thoroughly documented. The author vividly describes both our strengths and weakness in the four hundred seventy-three years of our history." Myron Dietz, Old Order River Brethren historian "The strength of this work is its evocative use of language to set a scene, its mixture of stories---Anabaptist and personal---with Anabaptist texts, and the gently passionate tone of its message. The book makes Anabaptist sources broadly available to the casual reader, and it places their story into the broader, deeper framework of commitment to Christ." John D. Roth, editor, Mennonite Quarterly Review

About the Author Peter Hoover (born 1960) is an author familiar to many conservative Christians of Anabaptist and similar heritage in the United States, Canada and western Europe. He is a member of the non-sectarian Rocky Cape Christian Community in Tasmania, Australia. Born in Canada, Peter has also worked in Mexico, Costa Rica, United States, Chile, and Australia. Hoover's books have focused on the stories of Christians in recent centuries who have most closely reflected the relationships, values, zeal and impact which Christians originally claimed in the New Testament and ante-Nicene period. His books include Secret of the Strength (What Would the Anabaptists Tell This Generation?), which is published in both English [1] a German edition in Europe (as Feuertaufe. Das radikale Leben der Täufer. Eine Provokation) [2] , and an online Spanish edition. Also, he has written Behold the Lamb (The Story of the Moravian Church), and The Russians' Secret (What Christians Today Would Survive Persecution?)[3] , and The Mystery of the Mark: Anabaptist Missions under the Fire of God [4] . In 2006, Hoover was featured on the American television program, Dr. Phil, for his involvement in an effort to find and recover the children of an American mother whose father was concealing them in a Christian community in Belize. In 2010, Hoover was subject to a brain tumor. It was surgically removed in the Hobart Royal hospital on 14 July, taking away much of his ability to read and write, but he has since regained most of his former abilities.

14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Thoroughly Researched, Yet Readable By Paul Pavao The research that went into this book is incredible. The book is worth it just for the frequent quotes from the Anabaptists own mouths. However, Peter Hoover also gives a great description of the original Anabaptist life and faith and an insightful analysis of why the Anabaptists' descendants, the Mennonites and Amish, have lost the power of their ancestors.The Anabaptist movement was known as "The Radical Reformation." It occurred at the same time as the Reformation of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli, but was divorced from government. Without governmental power, the Anabaptists were persecuted rather than engaging in war, and they bore a much greater resemblance to the early churches than any of the Protestant movements.The Anabaptists are frequently cited as forebears by modern Protestant denominations, but this book makes clear the vast difference between the original Anabaptists and any modern sect.
