In the autumn of 1525, a peddler visits the Castle of Thorn in Germany, and inspires young Fritz with tales of Martin Luther who fights against sin and ignorance with the truth of God's Word. Fritz wants to follow in Dr. Luther's footsteps and be a soldier for the Lord, so he chooses the Bible from the peddler's pack as his birthday gift. Shortly after his father, the Count, goes off to war, however, he and his mother and little sister are forced to flee to the forest to escape being thrown in prison for their new faith. Disguising themselves as commoners, they must trust the Lord as they wait and hope for the Count to rescue them. Through his many trials and struggles, Fritz learns what it means to be a true soldier for the Lord Jesus Christ.

When Jules Marot arrives in St. Etienne, a small village in the French Alps, in the spring of 1666, he brings bad news for his brother's family about their young son, Jacques. These are difficult times for the Huguenots. Many of the Huguenot families have grown complacent, viewing their faith as a mere political arrangement. Meanwhile, the French government continues to place more and more restrictions on them. Their schools and churches are being torn down, and they are forbidden to gather for services. The Marot family watches in dismay as many families who were once fervent in the faith give in to the pressure to convert to the "king's religion." As the persecution intensifies, the whole Marot family, including their sons, Jacques and Franois, must learn to trust God more than ever before.
