In the third book of the CHAIN OF WITNESSES series, the Tescher family will blossom and continue to grow as the grandchildren of Anseo and Eveline Tescher begin to marry and have children. The AnaBaptist history of Germany portrays events that usher in the Lutheran Reformation. It will explain where all the believers came from that swelled the ranks of the reform leaders just a few years later. But what is the fun of history without the personal story? The day to day experiences unfold as James comes of age and starts his own family, which is intertwined with the Greek refugee family known as Erk. His Aunt Beth and her family problems become more evident during the period of witch hunt hysteria fostered by The Church. As this obsession grows, The Church backs away from tracking down AnaBaptist heretics. Despite the dangers, our heretic families interact with men like Gutenberg the printer and see another opportunity to spread the gospel throughout Germany. The tragedy that closes this time frame is only a taste of what will become a catastrophe for all who call themselves Christian for the next two hundred years. By sharing the grief, you will better understand the source and forces behind what we know best as the Salem Witch Trials. In this link of the CHAIN OF WITNESSES, the writers have sought to give the reader a greater appreciation for the sacrifices made to keep the gospel alive. If you happen to read THE GREEK PRINTING PRESS first, it will not diminish your enjoyment of THE OVERCOMERS or THE INQUISITOR. Also, be looking for book four, AMONG FRIENDS & ENEMIES coming soon.
Every October 31, children--and even some adults--dress up in costumes. Some go door-to-door looking for a treat, some carve faces into pumpkins, and others tell scary stories about Dracula and frankenstein. But where do these traditions come from?
