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?"
Originally published in 1873, The Captives
has a softcover with 169 pages. It is suitable for ages 12 to
adult.

 "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?"
Originally published in 1875,
Out of the Mout of the Lion is republished by Salem Ridge Press.

 "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
Press. With a softcover, it has 264 pages. It is suitable for
ages 12 to adult.
