Conquered and oppressed by the Romans, the Britons rise in rebellion behind the leadership of a warrior–Queen Boadicia. Out of the ranks of the Briton warriors emerges a young man, Beric, whose skill and cunning earns him a trusted position among the Queen’s chiefs. With his unique knowledge of the enemy, Beric leads his people in an insurgency against the Romans. The military prowess and self-discipline of the Roman legions is pitched against the wild and heroic charges of the Britons. But when Beric is captured and trained as a gladiator, he must risk his life for a newfound faith.
Youth Books
Finding reading that will both challenge and interest youth (generally regarded as those about 12-17 years of age) is one of any family’s biggest challenges. Sure, you’ve found your ‘teen’ a great book! But will they read it? While no one can guarantee that a specific book will be read, we can at least say that, if a young person has any spiritual hunger for God at all, we’ve found these books are ones they’ll eagerly read. Some are true stories, some are fictional (with equally valuable lessons in righteousness) and some are books of biblical study. This you can be sure of: there’s no fluff here, and all will point them to the gospel and to Christ.

52 short chapters. Each contains a question, a Bible passage, a Bible verse, a discussion, something to consider, recommended further reading and a prayer.
These answers may lead to more questions which is fine – but the main aim of this book is that you, the reader, come to see and know better the One who is the Answer, Jesus Christ.
