"Young
Fritz wants to follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther and be a
soldier for the Lord, so he chooses a Bible from the peddler’s
pack as his birthday gift. When his father, the Count, goes off
to war, however, Fritz and his mother and little sister are
forced to ee into the forest to escape being thrown in prison
for their new faith. Disguising themselves as commoners, they
must trust the Lord as they wait and hope for the Count to
rescue them. But how will he ever be able to nd them?"
"The
Druid priests are as cold and cruel as the forest spirits they
claim to represent, and Guntra, the chief of her tribe of
Britons, must make a desperate deal with them to protect those
she loves. Unaware of Guntra’s struggles, Jugurtha, her son,
longs to drive the hated Roman conquerors from the land. When he
encounters the Christian Centurion, Marcinius, Jugurtha mocks
the idea of a God of love and kindness, but there comes a day
when he is in need of love and kindness for himself and his
beloved little sister. Will he allow Marcinius to help him? And
will the gospel of Jesus Christ ever penetrate the brutal
religion of the proud Britons?"
"When
Flaminius, a high Roman official, takes his wife, Flavia, to the
Colosseum to see Christians thrown to the lions, he has no idea
the effect it will have. Flavia cannot forget the faith of the
martyrs, and finally, to protect her from complete disgrace or
even danger, Flaminius requests a transfer to a more remote
government post. As he and his family travel to the seven cities
of Asia Minor mentioned in Revelation, he sees the various
responses of the churches to persecution. His attitude toward
the despised Christians begins to change, but does he dare
forsake the gods of Rome and embrace the Lord Jesus Christ?"
"There
is newfound freedom from persecution for Christians under the
emperor, Constantine, but newfound troubles as well. Errors and
pagan ways are creeping into the Church, while many of the most
devoted Christians are withdrawing from the world into the
desert as hermits and nuns. Quadratus, one of the emperor’s
special guards, is concerned over these developments, even in
his own family. Then a riot sweeps through the city and
Quadratus’ home is ransacked. When he regains consciousness, he
finds that his sister, Placidia, is gone. Where is she? And can
the Church handle the new freedom, and remain faithful?"
"At
a Syrian market two Christian women are sold as slaves. One of
the slaves ends up in Rome where Bishop Gregory is teaching his
new doctrine of “purgatory” and the need for Christians to
finish paying for their own sins. The other slave travels with
her new master, Mohammed, back to Arabia, where Mohammed
eventually declares himself to be the prophet of God. In Rome
and Arabia, the two women and countless others fall into the
bondage of man-made religions—will they learn at last to find
true freedom in the Lord Jesus Christ alone?"
"Knowing
full well they may die in the attempt, a small band of monks
sets out to convert the savage Danes who have laid waste to the
surrounding countryside year after year. The monks’ faith is
sorely tested as they face opposition from the angry Priest of
Odin as well as doubts, sickness and starvation, but their
leader, Osric, is unwavering in his attempts to share the “White
Christ” with those who reject Him. Then the monks discover a
young Christian woman who has escaped being sacrificed to the
Danish gods—can she help reach those who had enslaved her and
tried to kill her?"
