City of the Golden House

 Our Description

Perfect for unit studies of the early years of the Church!

The events surrounding the burning of Rome and the subsequent Christian persecution provide the backdrop for this story of faith and friendship. A young slave from Britain finds himself in Rome at a tumultuous time. Through his acquaintance with Christians he comes to understand and love the new religion. Out of his zeal for the love of the Christ, he performs a great spiritual work of mercy that sadly goes awry. In the end, God's providence and mercy shine through. (We don't want to give away too many more details of the story and ruin it for you!) We are honored that Mrs. Polland has given us permission to reprint this beautiful story.
