Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Day Queen of England
Faith CookPaperback 2005-02-01
Publisher Description
The year 2004 marked the 450th anniversary of the death of Lady Jane Grey. Many accounts have appeared over the years; some present her in terms of stirring heroism, others as a sweet and innocent victim, and more recently as an unfortunate but misguided religious prig. This account presents a sympathetic, though realistic, assessment of Lady Jane's personality and the events of her life. In days when absolute truth has become a casualty of our post-modern society, with its tolerance of everything except strong Christian convictions, the faith of Lady Jane Grey remains a challenge to us all. Her unswerving courage, even when the alternatives of life or death were set before her and depended upon the answers she gave, should not be forgotten.
