Heroes and Heroines of the Scottish Covenanters by John Meldrum Dryerre and published by Classics.
The story of the Covenanting struggle in Scotland, grows in interest the more we study it. The Covenanters were noble men and women, fired by a holy purpose, free from all selfish aims, with an awesome sense of duty and willing to endure all privations for what they knew to be right and true. Therefore a book on this subject needs no apology or excuse for its existence and the aim of this small volume is to lay before the busy reader of today, in simple words The Covenanters’ Story.
There is a need to remind ourselves that our Christian liberty and its privileges were bought with a great price for us, we are the heirs of the past ages and the blood of heroic men and women in the past has watered the ground from which springs our abundant harvest today. No one can read about the Covenanters without being inspired to live a nobler life, and challenged to live our lives in a godly way despite opposition.
The author trusts that this little volume may be instrumental in leading people of every age to be equally heroic in fulfilling their Christian calling in whatever position of life they may be called to.
