Publisher: Ignatius Press
Publisher's Description:
This autobiography of a Jesuit priest in Elizabethan England is a most inspiring and amazing document. John Gerard, its author, was a most remarkable priest in a time when to be a Catholic in England courted imprisonment and torture. To be a priest was treason by act of Parliament. Smuggled into England after his ordination and dumped on a Norfolk beach at night, Fr. Gerard disguised himself as a country gentleman and traveled about the country saying Mass, preaching and ministering to the faithful in secret. He was finally caught and imprisoned, and later removed to the infamous Tower of London where he was brutally tortured. This book inspires the student to love the Catholic Faith, to want to defend it, and to be willing to die for it.
