A Sword Unsheathed teaches the importance of courage, honor, and standing up for what you believe. The author reveals the history behind the conflicts between Christians and pagans in long-ago Saxon England and helps children understand the high cost of the religious freedom we take for granted.

Description / A Sword Unsheathed

His head turned upward, Prince Oswald spoke. His lips shaped the words of a prayer Luthwin could not hear. The prince’s hands held the cross higher, and then he gave his command. “We will stand every man where he is.” The army within hearing stiffened. “We will not fail. Let them press in on us. Fight where you are.”
The prince’s face shone with confidence that spread to his men. Luthwin sensed the sudden surge of strength and courage.

“I have so small faith, God, my Maker,” Luthwin whispered. “But I do believe. Strengthen us!” He glanced at the cross in Oswald’s hands. The Saxon army had no need now for the golden banner. He stood beside Twi, ready for the enemy to close in and crush them. But he was not afraid.

In long-ago Saxon England, the youth Luthwin finds himself caught up in firece conflicts between pagans and Christians, between princes seeking power and kingdoms, and between the gentle Celtic missionaries and the powerful Roman Church.

Great Book Of Pagan-Christian in England 700 AD
Review by
Luthwin is a 12 year old boy in England about 700 AD. The Brits and Saxons are not yet Christians.They worship about 600 idols. While being held over the winter on a journey home Luthwin learns from the Celts about the true God of Heaven although he knows little he chooses to trust God into battle. These people live in walled cities, very primitively. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is very liberating for them. Their lives have been fight wars constantly but the Celtic Christians are kind which greatly impresses Luthwin.
