In the late 16th century, England is in the midst of religious turmoil. The newly-emerging Protestant faith has begun spreading throughout major cities, finding eager listeners from all walks of life. William Brewster is a simple country lad during these tumultuous times. Following the visit of a Queen's aide, William is intrigued by the grandiose political and diplomatic events erupting across England, and pursues a career as a statesman's aide. But as the country descends into fighting between the Catholic and Protestant faiths, he is forced to choose a side; many of his closest friends, including a hero of ProtestantismJohn Penryhave forgone the teachings of the Catholic Church, insisting that "good men must never submit to tyranny." Yet others believe no religious tenant can allow the Christian faith to divide. William Brewster must navigate political, social, and religious upheavals throughout England while staying true to the ideals most important to him. 341 pgs, sc. ~ Stephen
Publisher's Description of One Candle's Light
Your name is William Brewster. You live in "glorious" Elizabethan England during the Reformation. Church doctrine and attendance are strictly mandated by the ruling monarchy. Nonconformists are fined, imprisoned, or executed.
At Cambridge, some insist that "good men must never submit to tyranny." After your dearest friends are betrayed by the country they serve, you hunger to hear the secret preaching of the newly translated Scriptures. Is it worth the risk?
Decades before the Mayflower voyage and Plimouth Plantation, English "commoners," emboldened by reading the Scriptures for themselves, gave up everything - for freedom to worship. Brewster and men like William Bradford and Edward Winslow flee first to Holland, then to New England, suffering endless hardships. They make surprising friends"and enemies, while lighting the candle of a new nation.
Though persecuted and betrayed, the Pilgrims didn't give up on their faith.
