Gédéon seeks answers
King Louis XIV is determined to unite the French nation in a single church. Gédéon, the oldest child of a Huguenot family in Normandy, experiences first-hand the increasing hostility of the Catholic hierarchy.
What is the cause of the religious conflict? Is reconciliation possible? Or will Gédéon’s family have to flee the country?
What causes religious conflict today? Can’t the underlying disagreements be resolved? Sadly, even today, countless families in many countries see no alternative than to escape their beloved homeland and seek refuge in an unfamiliar, unwelcoming nation.
Greet Suzon for me – about the plight of Gédéon’s family, is NOW AVAILABLE.
