In 1551 Antwerp, a young woman’s faith is tested in silence.
Lizzie is an heiress by birth and newly married by choice when her life is overtaken by the outlawed Anabaptist faith. Through her husband Jerome, a humble coppersmith, she encounters a church that believes baptism must be chosen freely—and a God worth obeying even unto death.
As imperial edicts tighten under Emperor Charles V, neighbors become informers, worship becomes a crime, and prison walls rise between husbands and wives. Lizzie and Jerome are confined within the same castle, forbidden to see one another, yet sustained by letters and by the shouted encouragement of friends gathered beneath her window: Sister, fight valiantly.
Pregnant, isolated, and awaiting judgment, Lizzie must decide whether faith will remain a private conviction—or a public testimony. Her story, preserved in Martyrs Mirror, is one of quiet courage, marital devotion, and trust in God when deliverance does not come.
Sister, Fight Valiantly is a historical Christian tragedy based on a true account of Anabaptist persecution during the Reformation—a witness to faith lived faithfully, even unto death.
