This book is a fun way to learn about William Tyndale. Back then people only had the Bible in Latin and so they didn’t know what it taught. William Tyndale translated the Bible into English and preached that salvation was a free gift from God. He was burnt at the stake in 1536 and his prayer was, ‘Lord, open the king of England’s eyes’. A year later Henry VIII gave permission for the Bible in English to be used.

There are lots of fun activities in the book. My favourites were drawing London Bridge and making a moveable skeleton. You can also get other activity books like this one about John Bunyan and C.S. Lewis. I enjoyed this book and I am so glad I don’t need to understand Latin to read the Bible, aren’t you?
