From Persecution to Freedom

By Russell McGuire

From Persecution to Freedom: Particular Baptists Steadfast in Conviction, Sustained by God

In a time of turmoil and religious oppression, Benjamin Coxe and his son Nehemiah stand firm in their faith. As Particular Baptists in 17th-century England, they face relentless persecution-imprisonment, fines, and rejection from the government, the established church, and their fellow dissenters. Falsely branded as radicals, they risk everything to defend their beliefs in Scriptural truths, including the baptism of disciples alone and justification by faith alone.

From small gatherings to the publication of confessions that will define their movement, this gripping historical tale follows the Coxes and other church leaders through trials, endurance, and divine providence. As the decades unfold, their steadfastness builds to a joyous crescendo: the 1689 General Assembly, where the Second London Confession of Faith is ratified and their new-found religious freedom is celebrated.

Perfect for young readers who love adventure and history, From Persecution to Freedom brings to life the courage, faith, and perseverance that helped shape the Particular Baptist movement for generations to come.

Will their convictions withstand the fire of persecution? Can they find freedom at last?

Step into this historical fiction and discover a story of faith that would not be shaken.
