Product Description:
Give up your faith! they cried. . . . How would you respond? This is the challenge Laurentia faces. Will she choose to follow in the faith of her grandfather, Polycarp? Set in 2nd century Smyrna, this book fictionally examines the last days of the early church father and martyr, bishop Polycarp. He lived in the time when Christianity was transitioning from the end of the Biblical apostles, when Rome was on a persecution rampage and heretical Gnosticism challenged the church. These issues and conflicts are well portrayed here. Written in an engaging style, the 22 short chapters would make a thought-provoking reading for your 7-12th grader or a family read aloud. When the road divides, which one will you take? 5.25 x 8.25 141 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
