Crusade of Tears, Quest of Hope, Pilgrims of Promise
Blog Summary Widget
In the Year of our Lord 1212, tens of thousands of children followed their faith in what is now known as the Children’s Crusade. About 50,000 youths from ages 5 to 16 marched from Germany in hopes of rescuing the Holy Land by the power of their innocence.
The Journey of Souls Series recounts the history of the times in wonderful detail. But the trilogy is far more than a history lesson and even more than a thrilling, gut-wrenching, nail-biting adventure; it is a life-changing exploration of the role of suffering in our own lives.
A beautifully told presentation of a tragic yet inspiring story."
