William Tyndale lived a life of adventure and danger, dodging the king's men, fleeing from his enemies and meeting with smugglers in the dead of night.

What brought a well-educated young English man to such a state? Was he an outlaw? Was he a thief? No - he was a Bible smuggler and a brave one at that. Tyndale wanted other English speakers to be able to read God's word in their own language but there were many who tried to put a stop to that.

However, Tyndale's work was God's work and it would not be stopped - even after his death. One day there was a translation of the Bible in the English language and it lit a fire in people's hearts that would not be put out.

The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Lori Rich will challenge young readers to be brave and stand up for the truth like William Tyndale did.

A pastor's daughter and now a pastor's wife, Lori Rich's admiration for the lives of those who sacrificed themselves for the sake of the gospel drove her to write this book, and she looks forward one day to meeting William Tyndale in heaven.
