St Thomas More Courage Conscience & King (Encounter The Saints Series)

Happy in his vocation as a husband, father, and lawyer, Thomas More never expected King Henry VIII to name him the Lord High Chancellor of England. With this promotion, Thomas became the king's most trusted and loyal servant. But when King Henry asked him to choose between fulfilling the duties of his office and following the commandments of God, Thomas bravely held onto his Catholic Faith. His example of courage and conscience continues to inspire all who face the pressures of having to make a difficult—and costly—choice.

Saint Thomas More is a timely example for young people living in a culture that often celebrates choices and values that run contrary to the teachings of the Church. This novelized story of Thomas More will inspire children to stand up for their faith in all situations, regardless of the sacrifice.
