It is 1546 in St. Andrews, Scotland, the land is aflame with the bodies of Protestant Reformists, and Ransom Mackenzie finds himself being used of God to help lead the reform sweeping the country. His tutor and mentor is none other than John Knox. The two of them embark on a journey to change the land from one of unyielding and persecuting Catholicism to one devoted to the Evangel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

n Crown of Fire Craig and Janet Parshall do a superb job of weaving history with captivating fiction, as they bring to life that forthright and surefire spiritual leader, John Knox. His biography is thoroughly intertwined in this novel so that at the conclusion one feels to have stepped back in time and actually experienced knowing him personally.

The reader of Crown of Fire is taken through the short reign of King Edward, the terrifying and bloody reign of Queen Mary, and finally left with Queen Elizabeth allowing light in an otherwise spiritually darkened country. Through all of this, Ransom and his bonnie Highland lass, Margaret, grow closer to the Lord despite persecution in both England and Scotland.

A most fascinating historic novel, Crown of Fire is a must-read for today’s Christian. The history lesson is complete, the heart has been warmed by the love of a husband and wife, and above all a challenge has been issued to all Christians to stand faithful to their Lord.
