Waldenses-Justice Denied

History of the Waldenses by J.A. Wylie is a quality portrait of a people denied basic christian rights by the papal hegemony in Rome. Well written and concise, I fully recommend this insightful look into the tragic martyrs of the mountains. The Waldenses have shown the rest of the Christian world that compromise and ethical withdrawls have no business in the churches of the middle ages or today. Thank you Waldenses for suffering in the name of Jesus, and allowing me to worship my God in freedom.

What a true histroy of how the Catholic Church persecuted Christianity?

If you want a true history of how the Catholic Church persecuted the Christians of the 'dark ages' then this is a great book for your collection. Come read how the true church of Christ banned together, pressed forward and spread the word of God at the cost of their lives from the fallen church of Rome. Yes, some people will be very upset about this book but it is documented history and stands as an example of what Christianity can cost you if you truly follow Jesus and "Walk, even as He walked".
