Nine Day Queen of England: Lady Jane Grey (Faith Cook)
“Kneeling down on the hard wooden scaffold Jane turned to Feckenham who stood by her. “Shall I say this Psalm?”, she faltered. Overcome with emotion…he simply said, “Yea.”
Jane then began to repeat Psalm 51 in English, David’s great prayer of contrition. Jane recited all nineteen verses “in a most devout manner”, and then both she and Feckenham rose to their feet. A deep silence rested over that sad scene. Nothing could be heard except for the quiet sobbing of her lady attendants.
Hardened soldiers, who had witnessed brutality many times before, stood without moving, as Lady Jane called out in a clear voice: “Lord into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Then with a stroke — swift, sharp and terrible — Jane’s short life was ended.
Like the Apostle Paul, she had fought a good fight, finished the course and kept the faith. Henceforth there was laid up for her a crown of righteousness–a crown that none could take from her.”

Reformation Heroes (Joel R. Beeke, Diana Kleyn)
The Reformation did not happen instantaneously; it was something God brought to pass over a long period of years. As you read this book, you will learn how the Lord used some people to plant the seeds of church reform long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his 95 theses.
Luther’s story is well-known; but you will find it equally interesting to read of 40 others! – John Knox, Willem Teellinck, Zacharias Ursinus, Peter Martyr Vermigli, and others – who all contributed to the Reformation. Providing a full picture of the many sides of the Reformation, chapters are also included on the Anabaptist and Counter-Reformation movements.

Rescue at the Eleventh Hour (W. H. G. Kingston)
This story, for children 8-14, is a factual narrative of the brave witness of William Hunter, as he was burned at the stake, leading the Clayton family to investigate the Reformation truths of the Bible. As a result, they came to believe in salvation through Christ alone. But it’s a dangerous time for believers, the reign of Mary I of England. This is an account of what God put them through for their faith, and how God providentially sustained them.
It’s the factual narrative of a family’s struggle to uphold the doctrines of the Reformation during the reign of Queen Mary I of England. The men, women and youths, who suffered martyrdom for their faith under the persecuting policy of Mary Tudor must never be forgotten. Their lives reflect in a wonderful manner how the light of God’s truth in the gospel cannot be quenched by the flames of persecution.

Redemption: The Church in Ancient Times (Luke H. Davis)
The story of the ancient Church is one of a people who were finding their way over many years by the light that God shined forth for them. Today, we are looking back over the centuries with many more years of understanding but we stand on the shoulders of those who braved persecution, death, debate, and mystery on behalf of generations to come.
