Crown of Fire

Craig and Janet have put together a very good story, and knowing that it's based on their anscestry makes it even more interesting. I look forward to reading the sequel.

Love Christian fiction

I really enjoy Christian fiction. Craig Parshall is true to his faith and the books are very exciting. Well worth reading anything he writes. This goes for all of his books you have listed. All 5 stars and great reading.

gotta read it

It is 1546 in St. Andrews, Scotland, the land is aflame with the bodies of Protestant Reformists, and Ransom Mackenzie finds himself being used of God to help lead the reform sweeping the country. His tutor and mentor is none other than John Knox. The two of them embark on a journey to change the land from one of unyielding and persecuting Catholicism to one devoted to the Evangel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In "Crown of Fire" Craig and Janet Parshall do a superb job of weaving history with captivating fiction, as they bring to life that forthright and surefire spiritual leader, John Knox. His biography is thoroughly intertwined in this novel so that at the conclusion one feels to have stepped back in time and actually experienced knowing him personally. The reader of "Crown of Fire" is taken through the short reign of King Edward, the terrifying and bloody reign of Queen Mary, and finally left with Queen Elizabeth allowing light in an otherwise spiritually darkened country. Through all of this, Ransom and his bonnie Highland lass, Margaret, grow closer to the Lord despite persecution in both England and Scotland. A most fascinating historic novel, "Crown of Fire" is a must-read for today's Christian. The history lesson is complete, the heart has been warmed by the love of a husband and wife, and above all a challenge has been issued to all Christians to stand faithful to their Lord.

A Pleasure to Read - Passionate, Poignant and Powerful

Crown of Fire is the captivating historical tale of the trials of John Knox and the events that happened during the Reformation. Filled with poignant scenes of tribulation and images of perseverance, Crown of Fire is a great tutorial of how Christians have endured persecution. The Parshall's know how to create passion for truth by combining historical evidence with current day implications and instilling a love for the Word of God that makes the book and God's Word come to life. This is a must read book for anyone who loves history, cares about those who are and who have been persecuted and loves the Word of God!
