Title: The Spanish brothers
Subtitle: a tale of the sixteenth century.
First published: 1888
Description: The Spanish Brothers is an accurate historical account of the rise, progress, and downfall of the Protestant Church in Spain. Especially may be mentioned the story of the two great Autos-da-fe (Acts of Faith -- parade and execution of 'heretics') at Seville. Only what concerns the personal history of the brothers and their family is fiction. But what is not fiction, but absolute truth, is that God repays His faithful servants a hundred-fold, even in this life, for anything they do or suffer for His Name's sake. - heritagebooks.org.

Persecution bursts suddenly upon the secret converts in Seville. Carlos was imprisoned and put to the Question, but no tortures could induce him to deny his Lord, or betray his friends. The Inquisition. The Question. The horrors of the auto-da-fe. Through the courageous fortitude of great heroes and heroines of faith, The Spanish Brothers lifts the soul clear above the anguish to the glory that we know and believe in, strengthening our faith and inspiring us to press on. This true account of the Spanish Inquisition will leave you speechless. - Amazon.
