The Captives-Or, Escape from the Druid Council
By Emma Leslie
 "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?"

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

persecution. His attitude toward the despised Christians begins to change, but

 "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?"
Sowing Beside All Waters was
originally published in 1875 and is republished by Salem Ridge

 "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?"
From Bondage to Freedom was originally published in 1877 and is
reprinted by Salem Ridge Press. With a softcover, it has
272 pages. It is suitable for ages 12 to adult.

 "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

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?"

and purpose to those around her, especially during the dark days
when England is defeated by William the Conqueror. Through all
of her trials, can Gytha learn to trust that God often has
greater work for us to do in the world than out of it?"
