"Jim Wardroper's Michmash Chronicles cover a wide sweep of history, beginning in the dying days of Roman Britain and continuing down through the centuries. Jim does more than bring the fascinating Michmash dynasty to life; he relentlessly reminds us that those who have gone before us have flourished in dark times and that the history of the church in Britain has compelling lessons of hope and encouragement to offer us today." - Ed Strauss, author of 20 Bible-based books and co-author of an additional 16.
