    About this ebook

    Imagine for a moment a land where the possession of an English Bible was forbidden. Anyone caught carrying such propaganda was imprisoned and then burned. This land was not in a state of communism, but rather its people believed in God and sought out heretics in Gods name. Where and when did this land exist? It was England during the sixteenth century. Only the common people spoke the native English language. Generation after generation of these commoners sat inside the church house unable to understand the Latin-speaking priest. From this spiritual darkness arose a few men who risked their lives believing it was necessary for the people to read the English Bible in their native tongue. This book traces the history of these men and their works.

    Author

    John Anthony Nordstrom

    John and his wife, Kathy, live in northern California and have been in God’s service for almost thirty-five years. They have three beautiful children—Johnny, Michele, and Matthew—who have proudly given them five grandchildren. The English Bible is the preacher’s greatest tool. After preaching God’s Word for the past thirty-five years, John felt the desire to know the history of the greatest book ever written. This one-hundred-year history centers on the blood-stained sixteenth century—a century stained with the blood of those who forfeited their lives for the common good of man, in that, for the first time, they could read their Bible in their native language.
