Two families—the Wakefields of nobility and the lower-class Morgans—are the focus of this sweeping generational saga, joined by intriguing personalities such as Elizabeth I, William Tyndale, and John Bunyan. Linking the people and events through the ages is the struggle of men and women who sought God as the answer to their difficulties. "Shield of Honor," the third book of the series, depicts the English civil war, Charles I, and Cromwell as it continues the story of the Wakefield and Morgan families.
