Memoirs of Cornelius Hanko

Written by Cornelius Hanko, Edited by Karen Van Baren

The book 'Less Than the Least' is the memoir of Protestant Reformed Church (PRC)-minister Rev. Cornelius Hanko's long, fruitful life of nearly a century (1907-2005). He lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the rise and fall of Soviet communism, and the advent of the space age, and spanned the terms of eighteen US presidents, from Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush.

Son of Dutch immigrants to America, Rev. Hanko served six pastorates in five states (1929-1977), most notably in First Protestant Reformed Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1948-1964), along with Rev. Herman Hoeksema and Rev. Hubert De Wolf. Rev. Hanko poignantly describes the grief caused in the PRC by his colleague De Wolf's controversy and departure (1953).

More than this, 'Less Than the Least' follows Rev. Hanko from his childhood, school days, and seminary training, his ministry of 48 years, all the way to his retirement in 1977, and beyond.

This very informative book present a great memoir, complete with photos and appendices.
