Perched in the church tower, Walter Murat watched the enemy scale the walls of the city like a plague of multicolored locusts. Someone pulled open the main gate, and soldiers poured through it, burning and killing across the French city of Beziers.

Walter, his father, and several other Waldenses huddled in the church as the city began to die. Would their plan to escape the doomed city succeed? Or would the soldiers slay them or drag them off to burn at the stake as heretics?

Pope Innocent III had commanded the County of Toulouse to banish all those who held beliefs different from those of the Church. To make sure that no opposition to the Church remained, he ordered a crusade--a crusade that was devastating the countryside.

Walter had helped his father escape from death in the city of Toulouse. Would God protect them now? And what had become of Walter's mother, Madame Murat? Had the authorities already captured and executed her at the stake?

The life of a Waldensian was one of danger as he spread and taught the Word of God across Europe. Helen Godfrey Pyke describes a time when to possess even a fragment of Scripture could be a death warrant.

Walter Murat and his father search across France for his mother. At the same time they evade the crusade and attempt to bring he gospel to those they meet. Once you begin reading A Wind to the Flame, you won't be able to put it down.
