Young people across America are rediscovering G. A. Henty, the 19th century literary genius whose historical adventures inspire boys to honesty, courage, diligence, and duty. Writing from a Christian perspective, Henty weaves the adventures of a fictional boy hero together with real-life events. His stories are as accurate as they are exciting, so children get important lessons in history which they long afterward. Just as important, these lessons come the immoral overtones of modern novels. This is Henty's tale of Sir Francis Drake, a man of action and sterling character traits, who has largely been forgotten today when studying history. Drake gave biblical witness to the sovereign God of Scripture and, most pointedly, His Son, Jesus Christ. His own journals reveal a keen awareness of his grater task, that of being an ambassador for the Triune God. Unabridged. Read by Jim Hodges. 1 MP3 CD. 10 hours.
