Praise for this book
By relating the life of Olympia Morata, (TITLE HERE) provides an inside view of life during the religious wars that ravaged Europe during the years after the Protestant Reformation. Readers will face, with Olympia, the daily dangers and insecurities that accompanied a faithful witness to the truth of the gospel and will find themselves challenged to consider how faithful they would be under similar circumstances.--Starr Meade
With the precision of a scholar and the heart of a story-teller, Simonetta Carr brings to life the story of Olympia Morata, a daughter of the Italian Reformation. Persecuted, beseiged, exiled, and imprisoned, Olympia finds comfort in the new religious ideals that are sweeping through Europe, spurred onward by the writing and preaching of the Protestant Reformers. Through Olympia, Simonetta Carr tells the story of the unnamed and unknown who heard the words of Gospel promise and clung to them though that often meant risking their lives. More than strength of character, Simonetta Carr celebrates the strength of the God in whom these believers trusted. May we, and our children, exhibit the same trust in these days of our own pilgrim exile.--Eric Landry, Executive Editor, Modern Reformation
In this delightful, yet informative historical- fiction we meet Olympia, a young girl willing to stand strong for her Christian values in the troubled, changing world of the Reformation.--Laura E. Smith
