Puritan Rebel / Davy, Yvonne / (PB/1982-1982/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Minor overall wear with yellowed pages.*

The Indians called him Dove-of Peace and Quencher-of-Fires. The British labeled him a rebel heretic. Roger Williams might have called himself a Christian, one who loved his fellow men and would sacrifice life itself that they might have freedom to worship as they chose.

The founder of Rhode Island, dead these 300 years, lives again in this fast moving biography, in which we develop a kinship with the Williams family and their faithful Indian friends. We feel abhorrence at the shabby treatment white men and red men inflicted on one another; yet through the battles, trickery, and ingratitude, the dignity and beauty of a consecrated life shine through undimmed. We are convicted that God and good are still in charge.
