New Book for Review: Children’s Historical Narrative ‘Brave Boys of Derry or No Surrender!’ by W.S. Martin

The story of the 1689 siege of Londonderry proclaims the power of God in the incredible resistance of the City of Londonderry against the attempted Jacobite conquest of Ireland by the deposed King James II of England.  While the city leaders vacillated, thirteen bold and brave young apprentices took the initiative to close the city gates.  “No surrender!” became the rallying cry.  Faith in Christ gave the people of Derry the courage to resist in the face of extended siege, blockade, starvation, and disease.  Liberty lovers—young and old—should read this book. 96 pages You can visit the publisher’s website at http://www.nordskogpublishing.com/book-brave-boys.shtml  This tour is now full and no longer
