The Thunder

A Novel on John Knox

By: Douglas Bond

Narrated by: Stefan Rudnicki

John Knox, the Thundering Scott, lives a life of adventure and danger in turbulent, corrupt 16th-century Scotland. Finding himself a wanted man, Knox is besieged in a castle by French soldiers, seized, and made a galley slave. Yet he is unflinching in his stand for the gospel, even in the face of assassins and death, and even when his fiery preaching makes him an enemy of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Told from the perspective of a young student resolved to protect Knox no matter the cost, Douglas Bond's thrilling biographical novel provides a look at the harrowing life story of a giant of the faith.

Discover the fascinating story of a timid man transformed by the grace and power of the gospel into one of the most influential figures in Scottish history.

Fascinating and inspiring!

I love historical fiction especially based on a beloved person who actually lived. This book is very well done. I like how it was from the perspective of one who grew up learning from and following this great man of God, John Knox. The narrator was excellent! I’ll definitely be reading more from this author. But first I’m going to listen to this one again. I know I often miss quite a bit my first tome through a book like this.

Excellent!

I loved this historical account of the great life and courage of the man-on-fire, John Knox. Told from the perspective of a fictional student, the style echos hints of Henty's epic stories. The narration is in a beautiful authentic Scottish brogue, which instantly transports the reader to the place and time of the events, yet it is not so heavy an accent as to create any extra effort in the listening. Well done and worthy of a second listen!

Very appropriate title

Great book! It is not just entertaining but also filled with adventure along with being mixed with history and theology!

Captured the man well

Wonderful book, both writing and performance were solid. Engaging story that seemed
To really capture J Knox well

Enjoyed the reminder!

So easily we forget the cost, always paid in blood, for the freedoms we take for granted daily. Though written as a fiction, I checked most of the characters written about and they indeed existed in the positions they held in the "fictional" book.
The author must have spent a good amount of time in research for this book!
