The Shiled of Honor

The Shield of Honor is a historical fiction book written by Gilbert Morris about religeous persecution in the 16th century. It is the third book in the series called The Wakefield Dynasty. This book is about the reign of King Charles and the riligious civil war. The main character in the beginning of the book is Christopher Wakefield. When he was a young adult all that he liked to do was drink and party. Finally his parents got fed up with him and got him on a ship as a crew member. Sir Robin (Chris's dad) knew the capitan, so he took Chris on to live under strict command untill he could better manage his life. When Chris was still working on the Mayflower he sailed over to Plymouth with the Pilgrams. While he was over there he met Patience Livingston whom he eventually married. Chris Returns to England a new man. Later on the two have a baby named Gavin. The story then swiches from the main character being Chris to the main character being Gavin. Gavin grows up to be a respectable man who dislikes catholis. Then he has to go fight in the war. Eventually either Oliver Cormwell or King Charles wins the war and then one of them gets excuted. Some of the other characters are susane and francine, the two women that he has to choose between to marry. This is a really good book that I suggest that you read.

Gilbert Morris writes the best christian books I have read .

The book shows just how hard it was to be a Christian in those days. Always having to hide not knowing if you would live or not. Also showing what it was like to be in the court always moving from place to place.
