In March 1643, Lady Brilliana Harley received a formal demand to surrender her castle to the royalists - those who supported the king against the Parliament. Her husband, Sir Robert Harley, had been in London since the start of the civil war. With six hundred soldiers marching against her and only fifty men fighting on her side, she had to decide whether to resist or surrender. Discover the rest of this exciting story as our hosts Sophia, Linus, and Sean talk with Dr. Michael Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and the author of A Phoenix of Women: Puritan Spirituality in the Letters of Brilliana Harley.

Thanks to the generosity of H&E Publishing, we are pleased to award two of our listeners a copy of Dr. Haykin’s book about Brilliana Harley. Congratulations Robert T. from Cleveland, TN and Brian R. from Malakoff, TX!
