This gripping story of Britain within three or four generations of the apostolic age was written 50 years ago, but recently republished by Mayflower.
Most Christians have a huge gap in their knowledge of church history between the 1st century and the 16th. Have you ever wondered how Christianity first came to Britain? What kind of reception did the gospel get? What was it like to follow Christ in that pagan anti-Christian culture, without the aid of a Bible or an established church? In the grip of the Druids is a novel, but a well-researched one and it gives the reader an enthralling glimpse into the joy and the terror of those days.
