Tales Of The Scottish Covenanters Helen Of The Glen The Persecuted Family And Ralph Gemmell

This book brings to life the very real difficulties of living in the "Killing Times," of religious persecution. The Covenanters refused to recognize the King as the head of the church in Scotland. "No King, but Jesus," was their motto. Other than that, they were loyal subjects. The English Stuart kings poured out wrath upon the Covenanters and this is the tale of a little family who were caught up in the events of this time. It can be inspirational for older children, young and old adults alike. This makes a nice little gift book.

This book celebrates the heroic Covenanters of the Killing Times, when faithful believers passed through a time of intense persecution in Scotland and many suffered much for their faith even to death. Tales of the Covenanters includes "Helen of the Glen," "Ralph Gemmell" and "The Persecuted Family." These stirring stories of faith and fidelity in the midst of trial and adversity remind us that our liberty and privileges were bought at a great price. This book is still as relevant today to inspire a new generation of readers. Relevant illustrations are included throughout Tales of the Covenanters.
