Overview

In the heat and smoke of Tudor England, truth was dangerous--and silence could save your life. To Live in His Fear is not simply the story of Thomas Cranmer, but of conscience pressed to its breaking point. Drawn into a world where kings bend the church and fear burns at the stake, Cranmer must decide whether faith is worth more than safety, truth more than life, and silence a shield--or a betrayal of his soul. The struggle is deeply human. Torn between loyalty to crown and obedience to God, between safety and integrity, he stands beside voices--fiery, skeptical, devoted--that force him to wrestle with the question every generation must answer: What is worth dying for? With language that lingers like candlelight, and a story that pulses with humanity, history comes alive--not as distant doctrine but as the aching struggle of love, doubt, and devotion. This is a novel for anyone who has ever questioned God, wrestled with courage, or longed for a truth that survives the fire.

Reviews

""Based upon the historical context of the English Reformation, this beautiful work is centered on one prominent family and their individual responses to the politics of the day in relation to their faith in God. In this way the story is so entirely applicable to our time and its challenges. How does one discover God's direction in the face of conflicting voices and diverse agendas? The reader, intimately drawn to each family member and their unique spiritual struggles and evolving understanding of life's most important questions, is rewarded with the satisfaction and security of an everlasting love relationship with the Creator and the hope of glorious reunions."" --Mark Kilgus, MD, Psychiatrist ""To Live in His Fear by Dan Salter transports the reader to Tudor England, a time of religious and political tumult, and brings to life Thomas Cranmer, a man pursuing faith and understanding. Salter's theological insight and historical imagination bring the reader to consider with Cranmer what is true about God's love and purpose."" --Brenda Thompson Schoolfield, Professor of History ""With Henry VIII's determination to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon as backdrop, Dan Salter's historical novel To Live in His Fear presents a gripping account of the crisis of conscience that embroiled the lives of great and small in Tudor England. And in doing so, it not only reveals the loyalty and the willingness to sacrifice that love and truth require but also encourages present-day readers who increasingly face a similar fate."" --Sid Silvester, Assistant Professor of English, Retired, Bob Jones University
