The Sword of the Spirit: The Story of William Tyndale by Joyce McPherson

The Sword of the Spirit—The Story of William Tyndale

By Joyce McPherson
Level 9
Review:

This book is written well and in easy-to-understand language. However, the concepts and long list of characters in the book are a little more difficult to follow, so I suggest the book for ages 12 or older. I think it would be most enjoyed by children 15+. After reading this book, I felt that I understood the life of William Tyndale very well. The author writes in the style of a fictionalized biography but bases all of the main events, details, and characters on true events and people.
