The year is 1526. It is the age of Henry VIII and his tragic Anne Boleyn of Martin Luther and Thomas More. The times are treacherous. The Catholic Church controls almost every aspect of English life including access to the very Word of God. And the church will do anything to keep it that way.Enter William Tyndale the gifted courageous heretic who dared translate the Word of God into English. He worked in secret in exile in peril always on the move. Neither England nor the English language would ever be the same again.With thoughtful clarity and a reverence that comes through on every page David Teems shares a story of intrigue and atrocity betrayal and perseverance. This is how the Reformation officially reached English shoresand what it cost the men who brought it there.
