This review is from: The Everlasting Flame: A Tale of Undying Love for Each Other and God's Word in a Dangerous Time (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book alot. Though this isn't my favourite Linda Chaikin book I still liked it alot. This book is about love for God's Word and between two lovers who risked their lives to translate the New Testament into English when it was forbidden. Justin Brice and Regina Redford are the main fiction characters along with non-fiction character William Tyndale. Justin is sent to Rome to ease the conscience of his sin-tormented father. While in Rome Justin discovers in his daily monk rituals that this is not the way to seek forgiveness for his sins and also dares to translate the Bible from Latin into English. He escapes Rome with his life and makes back to England...to Regina who is promised to a different man. The romance is not the main focus of the story but you will get a deeper appreciation for the people who had risked their lives to bring God's light into the dark world. Admidst betrayal, danger God remains the only true light. I suggest that you read this book so that you will know how it was like to live through that era. I will read it again because it is very well-worth reading more than once.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating!, February 25, 2002

This review is from: The Everlasting Flame: A Tale of Undying Love for Each Other and God's Word in a Dangerous Time (Paperback)

THE EVERLASTING FLAME is a book I can read over and over. I've read it 6 times, and I still don't get tired of it. It is a wonderful book because it contains Scripture and the Gospel mesage, yet anyone would find it interesting and a fabulous read. I recommend it to anyone who loves adventure, historical fiction, and God's Word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very inspiring!, August 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Everlasting Flame: A Tale of Undying Love for Each Other and God's Word in a Dangerous Time (Paperback)

This is a great story of brave men and women who risked their lives to give the English people the Bible in their own language. I found it very inspiring as a Christian, and I loved the way the book ends on Luther's great hymn. The plot is very well-written, as with all the Linda Chaikin books I have read. I highly recommend it!!
