Sword of Peace

A Journey From Fear to Faith

By: Louisa M Bauman

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Where can a person go to be safe? Anna thinks she will be safe by adhering to the Catholic Church, but is this an option after learning some disturbing truths about the church? Her friends have joined the Anabaptists, but the Court of Holland is hunting for them because they are heretics, and heretic women are drowned or buried alive. Their sympathizers are shown no mercy either, forcing Anna to choose between staying loyal to the corrupt church or betraying her innocent friends. When Adriaen Geerts becomes a widower, Anna is conveniently available to look after his children while he journeys across the Netherlands preaching the ‘dangerous’ Anabaptist faith. Anna consoles herself that because of the children, he will surely come back some day—if he’s not arrested. Will the God of the Anabaptists’ faith be strong enough to bring all her loved ones together again? Readers who enjoy reading about how people coped in the past when faced with life-changing decisions, or who just love to learn about fascinating periods of the past, will appreciate this fast-paced and entertaining novel. 2018 indieBRAG Medallion Honoree Award winner
