Thrilling, Challenging, Inspiring

Families keep disappearing, and joining what many call the accursed sect of the Anabaptists. Anabaptism, people say, is like a disease that hits people unawares. The more Regina hears about their beliefs, the more she wants to know about them. Her desire for truth becomes so compelling that she is even ready to talk to a hunted Anabaptist minister to find out what is right. She finds out that the persecuted believers only follow what the Bible says, and that having peace with God is what really matters.

"Escape From Kyburg Castle" same book as "Not Regina"

Going by two different titles, this compelling story of a young lady is bound to captivate any reader. Regina is unsettled in her heart as she watches good friends being imprisoned or disappearing from the country, because of their religious beliefs. Switzerland's government is one with the church during these turbulent early 1500's, and the Anbaptist teaching against infant baptism is thus against the government. Persecution is implemented in attempt to squelch this new doctrine, yet many people knowingly choose to become Anabaptist. Regina prays for the truth, which promises peace to her heart, and is worth any price. Suspense, adventure and romance mark this story as Regina also finds true love from a young man, demonstrated by his willingness to die for her, in her search for the Truth. This would not be a first choice as a read-aloud book, but great reading on infant-baptism versus adult-baptism-upon-confession, for teens or adults. This book is inspirational, challenging any serious Christian to examine their own convictions and their own willingness to endure any persecution to hold onto the Truth as God has revealed it to them. It challenges any reader to desire Truth above anything else.
