"They gain their wealth at the hands of the poor " Was Theresa a fool to assist this monk whom the Pope wished to silence? "If you defy me on this, Adara, I will reveal your conversion and you'll be hunted down." Was Adara's new faith in the Hebrew God worth the trouble she now faced? "There is no spiritual life under the abbot." The price of being caught with a known Anabaptist...well, Hans would never see his family again. Why did he have such a soft heart? Was his brain soft as well? That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (I Peter 1:7, KJV) Throughout history and even today men and women endure spiritual trials, but when we walk in obedience, our faith is strengthened because we see God's Word at work. This book provides seven short stories and devotionals focused on growing faith through trials and persecutions.
