Stirring accounts of sacrifice and martyrdom for the Reformed Faith that will bring tears to eyes of all but the most backslidden. Follows the chain of events which gave Scotland two Reformations and a Revolution. John Knox, the National Covenant, The Solemn League and Covenant, the Westminster Assembly, the Field Meetings (conventicles) and the "Killing Times," and much more are all covered. The history of many great battles for Christ and His royal rights are accurately recounted in this moving chronicle of Reformation struggles and martyrdom. These accounts of men, women and children who were willing to die for the truth of Christ's Kingship over all things are as amazing and edifying as any you will ever read!

This book also sheds much light upon the warfare of Christ's bride (with the dragon) for true Scriptural liberty, while telling the moving story of some of the most prominent and/or faithful Christians (Samusl Rutherford, James Renwick, Richard Cameron, Donald Cargill, "the Society People," et al.) since the days of the Apostles. This is one of our best history books, and is highly recommended! It is great for home schooling, history classes and various other learning situations, as it contains convenient review questions at the end of each chapter. Furthermore, it is written in an easy-to-read and engaging style, which makes it one of the best introductions to the Scottish Covenanters and the periods of the first and second Reformations in the British Isles that is available.
