Courage to Stand: Across the Ages Ebook

Ebook

What would you do if speaking the truth cost you everything?

Fourteen men and women across twenty centuries faced that question. St. George in Roman arenas. Joan of Arc burned at nineteen. Thomas More beheaded for defying a king. Harriet Tubman making nineteen missions into slave territory. Dietrich Bonhoeffer returning to Nazi Germany when he could have stayed safe in America.

Their answers changed the world.

You'll smell the smoke at Constance as John Huss burns. Feel the spray of the Atlantic as the Puritans cross. Hear the dogs tracking Tubman through Maryland swamps. Touch the rough wood of Thomas More's scaffold. Stand in the starvation bunker as Maximilian Kolbe volunteers to die for a stranger.

These were not saints from stained glass windows. They were flesh and blood — ordinary people who became extraordinary when the world demanded their silence. Their stories, told with the sweeping scope of Michener and the concrete detail that brings history to life, are not just accounts of the past. They are experiences you will inhabit.

Perfect for listeners who loved The Hiding Place, Bonhoeffer, Unbroken, and the historical narratives of McCullough and Larson.

Fourteen narratives. Twenty centuries. One lesson: some principles are worth everything.

History does not remember the silent. It remembers those who stood.
