Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. It is 1630. Roger Williams and his wife, Mary, have escaped from England to take refuge in Massachusetts, where men and women of faith are building a "City on a Hill" - a new society of righteous institutions for God's chosen people. It is a chance to start over; to put aside the failures of the past; to embrace new lives around the truths of the Holy Word of God. But what sort of men and women will be found fit to live in such a place? Who is fit to speak for God? The answer to questions like these will test their faith, as the hardships of the new land will. Their answers - won through patience and perseverance- will speak for generations to come. For not everyone who arrives in the Land of Promise is sent by God, and not everyone who is sent will fulfill their purpose. The chosen of God may go astray: there is a serpent in the garden, and none are immune to the temptations to be found there. There will be conflict and controversy, even war, in this New Jerusalem. This is America. This is our past. It is also our heritage, left to us by men and women of earnest faith and astonishing courage; the people God calls his own. The hard lessons that Roger Williams learns in his day are worthy of our recollection and consideration. If we forget them, we will have to return to the hard school that Roger Williams knew. If we ignore them, we may reap a harvest of lost opportunity and needless suffering. Read and learn, or weep. This is Volume II of A.L. Porter's historical fiction series "The Garden and Jerusalem." This book in the series is subtitled "Land of Promise" and follows Roger and Mary Williams journey to America to find the elusive "City on a Hill." This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1616, England is a nation lurching toward crisis. King and Parliament are locked in a struggle that will determine the nature of her government for centuries to come. It is a battle between the old world of royal despotism and something new-a reordering of power and privilege fueled by science and faith. The arena for this conflict ranges from the pulpits in every parish to the palaces of the King. One young man, a tailor's son, finds himself with a front-row seat to the conflict. He recognizes that the outcome may create opportunities undreamt of for those willing to take a risk. He also sees the consequences of making the wrong wager. Ultimately, he must choose a side in the conflict. This is the story of that young man: the risks he takes, the choices he makes, and the consequences - consequences that are with us today. As his life unfolds, he challenges the limits of class and tradition, the unexpected twists of mortality and treachery, and the limits of cleverness and talent. In the end, his destiny is discovered in completely unexpected places, far from home. Such is the spirit of his age, so moves the Spirit of his God. His name is Roger Williams. He is remembered today for what he has come to represent in the founding of America, with little regard for how he earned that place in our imagination. This book is an attempt to imagine what it could have been like to live as he lived and walk the path he walked. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Elizabethan England is a place of turmoil. The Renaissance, the Reformation, the discovery of a New World - these have converged all at once to overturn centuries of tradition. People are scrambling to cope with the new reality. Into that overturned world step the main characters of this book. They are, for the most part, people of deep religious conviction. Unfortunately, their convictions do not always accord with the spirit of their times. Much of the drama in this book is about their struggle to cope, survive, and perhaps prosper. In 1580, three men meet on the road to Chelmsford, England. Each of them has a different reason for being there. They share a brief day of camaraderie, which develops into an unexpected web of obligation and friendship, unlikely as it would seem. One of them, a Catholic priest, is a fugitive from the government, accused of treason. Another, a Puritan scholar involved in a plot to overthrow the hierarchy of the Church of England, is also living a double life. The third man, a carpenter, wants nothing more than to navigate his way to a stable and prosperous life. But the times and the forces that shape them will lead each man to an unexpected destiny. Each man will have his faith tested. Each is in conflict with the ruling political and religious institutions of his time. Each must find a way to survive without abandoning his faith. Each must deceive to cling to the truth. Along the way, their lives become entangled with numerous other characters - only a few of whom are known to history. These are ordinary lives, notwithstanding the drama. For some, the struggle between their faith and their society is simply too difficult - they will attempt to build a culture of their own, outside England, on a distant shore - in North America. It was the Renaissance. There were wars and rumors of wars. Now there were signs on Earth and in Heaven. Now there were plagues and pestilence, soon the end of the world would come . . .
