"Jane Grey was one of the most remarkable young people in English
history. Not only was she frighteningly bright but she stood up for
herself in an age when girls were meant to be submissive. Most of
all, despite being all alone, she defended her Christian beliefs
vigorously and refused to abandon her faith in Jesus Christ, even
though she knew that would mean she would be beheaded." -- Eric
Ives, Emeritus Professor of English History at the University of
Birmingham, and author of the definitive study Lady Jane Grey: A
Tudor Mystery.
"The dramatic story of Lady Jane Grey has captured the imagination
of people of all ages and eras--high-stake royal politics, ruthless
power-plays, religious controversies, and tragic ending. Despite it
all, the biblical faith of this remarkable teen-ager gave her
dignity under pressure and a firm hope that did not disappoint.
Simonetta Carr is to be greatly thanked for introducing a new
generation of children to Lady Jane and her inspiring example of
Christian faithfulness." -- Rev. Canon Dr. John Ashley Null,
Fellow, Royal Historical Society, London, and Research Fellow,
Theological Faculty, Humboldt University of Berlin
"The short life and remarkable testimony of Lady Jane Grey is one
of the extraordinary stories of Christendom. As a grandmother of
twelve, I am grateful for a book that shows young readers the power
of the gospel in the life of a young girl and that inspires them to
live for God's glory." -- Susan Hunt, pastor's wife, mother,
grandmother, speaker, and author of numerous books for women and
children, including Heirs of the Covenant and Big Truths for Little
Kids.
