Description From the author of Trial and Triumph: Stories from Church: The word that perhaps best characterizes the Puritans and Covenanters is faithfulness.
Whether Edward Dering preaching boldly before a fuming Queen Elizabeth, or Sandy Peden evading the king's men on horse, or Hugh Mackail undergoing the torture of the Boot and then execution for his faith, the Puritans' and Covenanters' courage and conviction shines as bright as ever today.
In this collection of thirty brief biographies (with seven illustrations), Hannula brings these stories to life, both for young people who should grow up knowing their spiritual ancestors and the heroes of our faith, and for adults who need to make their acquaintance for the first time.
Because of the fierceness with which they were persecuted, many left Britain for America to worship God freely.
If we are to truly understand ourselves, our theological heritage, and our current situation, we need to know the stories of these brave and faithful men.
