  The true story of the man who gave his life to create the English-language Bible.The English Bible—the most familiar book in our language—is the product of a man who was exiled, vilified, betrayed, then strangled, then burnt.William Tyndale left England in 1524 to translate the word of God into English. This was heresy, punishable by death. Sir Thomas More, hailed as a saint and a man for all seasons, considered it his divine duty to pursue Tyndale. He did so with an obsessive ferocity that, in all probability, led to Tyndale's capture and death.The words that Tyndale wrote during his desperate exile have a beauty and familiarity that still resonate across the English-speaking world: “Death, where is thy sting? . . . eat, drink, and be merry . . . our Father which art in heaven.” His New Testament, which he translated, edited, financed, printed, and smuggled into England in 1526, passed with few changes into subsequent versions of the Bible. So did those books of the Old Testament that he lived to finish.Brian Moynahan's lucid and meticulously researched biography illuminates Tyndale's life, from his childhood in England, to his death outside Brussels. It chronicles the birth pangs of the Reformation, the wrath of Henry VIII, the sympathy of Anne Boleyn, and the consuming malice of Thomas More. Above all, it reveals the English Bible as a labor of love, for which a man in an age more spiritual than our own willingly gave his life.

  I was standing on my bed looking out of my bedroom window. The sky appeared gray and somber. I saw a young man with dark hair looking up, staring at me from the sidewalk. Then quick lightning flashed, striking him, leaving a small pile of charcoal-colored ashes on the sidewalk where he once stood... I awoke. I was surrounded by plastic drapes and hospital monitoring equipment. The air around me smelled like chicken soup and chemicals. They later told me it had been five months that Id been in a coma. I was wrapped in layers of white bandages. Third-degree burns covered almost 80 percent of my body. My journey was just beginning. The doctors painted a grim future for me. They told my mom that I would never walk again. Oftentimes, we can forget to be thankful for the small things. In her book Snatch Back, author Ruby Hayes recounts some of her most trying times and how God eventually took hold of her life and brought her back to the light. Hayess book is a shining testimony to the fact that it is never to late to be relinquished from the devil. This is the book that Satan himself does not want published.
