It is A. D. 311 in West Britain and even in this far-flung province of the Roman Empire Christians are not safe from renewed imperial persecution. At Caer Taff—modern-day Cardiff—a brief skirmish against a marauding tribe, the Deisi, develops into a more dangerous struggle between the new religion and the dominant pagan culture of the local Roman fort. Two friends, Julius and Con, meet and befriend Brychan, a young Christian priest, who is later captured and imprisoned at the base camp of the legion. Torn between obedience to parental orders and the demands of friendship, the boys resolve to help him escape. Aided by Aaron the Hebrew, a Roman soldier who has secretly converted to Christianity after witnessing the martyrdom of St. Alban seven years earlier, they set out to rescue Brychan—but with unexpectedly grave consequences. This thoughtful story highlights the boys’ courage, which will impact on all the characters involved. It also plays its part in bringing about the “spring tide” of hope that will eventually result in the Edict of Milan of A.D. 313—and religious tolerance for all Christians.Spring Tide

A Continuation of Sunset in Provence “Listen! Someone knocks.” Henri sprang to the door, and hastily unbarred it. A young man, whose fur coat was covered with snow, entered immediately, bringing a current of cold air and a stream of water into the comfortable room. “You here, Christophe!” cried the pastor, recognizing a member of his flock who lived at a considerable distance. “What errand has brought you so far on such a night?” “An ill one, Barbe,” said the young man. “My poor mother — God help her! — lies since morning speechless, and as far as I can see, at the point of death.” It must be remembered that the barbe was by his calling a physician for the body as well as for the soul. It was not necessary, therefore, for the young peasant even to express a desire that he should accompany him. Without a moment’s delay he rose to prepare for the expedition. It was a difficult, toilsome, and even dangerous one. A walk of seven miles at night, and in a snow-storm . . . The Young Burning Hearts Series is a series of fascinating independent stories for young and old of faithfulness in trying times.Strangers in the Valley

A Tale of the Albigenses “My lord, I am your sister’s son but not your vassal,” the youth replied with perhaps unnecessary pride. “But that is not the question,” he added sadly and in a gentler tone. “You counsel me — no, you command me,” and he bowed his head slightly at the word, “to submit myself unreservedly to our Holy Father the Pope, in the person of his Legate.” “I do, as you do value life and lands. If your retainers had not infected you with their heresy, why should you hesitate?” “I — the son of Roger Taillefer — a heretic! None of our race were ever that, thank Heaven. But can the Count ask why I hesitate? Not that I fear the disgrace of a public penance, though I think they might have spared it to the greatest seigneur who speaks the ‘Langue d’Oc’, and altogether such a submissive and obedient Roman Catholic.” The Young Burning Hearts Series is a series of fascinating independent stories for young and old of faithfulness in trying times.Sunset in Provence
