Hammer of the Huguenots (Heroes & History)

“We do not answer to tyrants.”

Philippe must decide once and for all where his loyalties lie. Will believing the truth of the gospel bring death or liberation? Full-scale warfare is breaking out as intense religious confl ict rages throughout sixteenth-century France. Philippe, a quiet and hardworking shipwright apprentice, is entangled in the trouble whether he likes it or not. Defying the state church’s vicious persecution, Philippe’s closest friends have embraced the gospel proclaimed by church Reformers—whom will Philippe follow?

The Heroes & History series takes you on epic journeys through turbulent times in history. Douglas Bond gives flesh and blood to heroes as they face war, intrigue, betrayal, loss—and triumph.
