Victoria, Australia Author Publishes Book on the Personal Lives of the People behind the Protestant Reformation

May 7, 2015 - "Freedom at Stake: A Story of the Reformation Martyrs," a new book by James Fearn, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. Sometimes a few dedicated heroes can turn a spark of change into a firestorm of rebellion.

Such was the case during the Protestant Reformation, when courageous souls stood against oppression, changing the way we approach religion even today. In "Freedom at Stake," men and women consumed with passion and dedication incite turmoil among traditional thinkers and established powers. They inspire change across Europe, from peasants and farmers to popes and kings.

But as they bravely fan the flames, can they help but get burnt? Do their risks pay off, or do their actions consume them?

In these fiery years, everything is at stake-freedom, liberty, and even life.
