Description

Newest volume - the 5th - in the Chosen Daughters Series! Just released, December 2011. One of the best series ever written, to acquaint a girl with important and zealous women in Christian history.

Psalm-Singer, Passionate Teacher, Pilgrim Adventurer -- Olympia Morata (1526–1555) was a girl far ahead of her time and her teacher's best student. With a quick tongue and a ready pen, she records her vivid thoughts, poetry, songs, and opinions. But not long after she is appointed to be the tutor of Duchess Renée’s children, evil rumors turn her world upside-down.

"With the precision of a scholar and the heart of a story teller, Simonetta Carr brings to life the story of Olympia Morata, a daughter of the Italian Reformation. Persecuted, besieged, exiled, and imprisoned, Olympia finds comfort in the new religious ideals that are sweeping through Europe, spurred onward by the writing and preaching of the Protestant Reformers. Through Olympia, Simonetta Carr tells the story of the unnamed and unknown who heard the words of Gospel promise and clung to them though that often meant risking their lives. More than strength of character, Simonetta Carr celebrates the strength of the God in whom these believers trusted. May we, and our children, exhibit the same trust in these days of our own pilgrim exile."
-- Eric Landry, Senior Pastor, Christ PCA, Temecula, CA
