She's only gone and got married again and has flown off on honeymoon, sending Evie to stay with a godmother she's never even met in an old, creaky house in the middle of nowhere. It is all monumentally unfair. But on the first night, Evie sees a strange, ghostly figure at the window. Spooked, she flees from the room, feeling oddly disembodied as she does so. Out in the corridor, it's 1814, and Evie finds herself dressed as a housemaid. She's certain she's gone back in time for a reason. A terrible injustice needs to be fixed. But there's a housekeeper barking orders and a bad-tempered master to avoid, and the chamber pots won't empty themselves. It's going to take all Evie's cunning to fix things in the past so that nothing will break apart in the future.... Absorbing, brilliant storytelling from the Waterstones Children's Book Prize short-listed author of The Secret Hen House Theatre and The Farm Beneath the Water. Critic Reviews: "This tautly written timeslip novel begins in the present day, when Evie's mother sets off on a honeymoon with her new husband, leaving Evie in the care of an elderly godmother in a remote, old house.... Inspired by the history of a real manor house, this is an exciting drama with an engaging heroine." (The Daily Mail)

It wasn't until the last few years of his life that he became a reformer. He fought for truth and righteousness with his mind and pen, he fought for lost souls to hear the good news of Jesus Christ, and at the age of 47, as an army chaplain, he was killed on the battlefield. The Shepherd Warrior, Ulrich Zwingli, fought the good fight. With his last strength he voiced his victory: "They can kill the body but not the soul!" Members Reviews: A Little Known Man Who Fought For Christ To Be Known Ulrich Zwingli. Perhaps you have heard of him. I certainly had not so I was eager to learn more about this 1500s reformer from the Bitesize Biographies series from Evangelical Press Books. William Boekestein, the author of Ulrich Zwingli, gives the reader an in-depth look into Zwingliâs life and ministry. His ministry would begin in 1506 at the Catholic Church of Glarus in Switzerland. His religious education was lacking but upon this position he began to study the languages and was greatly influenced by Erasmus who helped him understand the sufficiency of Christ. In 1518 he would become the pastor of the Great Minister Church of Zurich even after confessing to sexual improprieties. This led him to appeal four years later to the bishop of Constance for permission for priests to marry but he would have no success. He married Anna Reinhart in 1524 and continued his pastoral position. Zwingli was a defender of the evangelical church against the criticisms of the Roman Church. Catholicism was being purged in Zurich with Zwingli in the lead. After leading reforms in education, sacraments and morals the Zurich church broke with Rome in 1525. Zwingli would come against some of the beliefs of the Anabaptists and Martin Luther. In 1531 the Catholic states would engage in war against Zurich. Over 500 Zurich men died in just a few hours. Twenty-five pastors were selectively killed as heretics. Zwingli was caring for a wounded comrade when he was struck in the head by an enemyâs stone. His last words were: âWhat matters this misfortune? They may kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul.â There is much more to learn of Zwingli in this well documented account of his life. This book gives us insight into a little known man who fought for Christ to be known. Good intro to Zwingli! Biographies are useful in that they help us know the struggles and triumphs of people from different times and backgrounds. We soon realize that we are not alone in this fight called life. We of course know that God is with us. But we also find out that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. No time in history saw more upheaval than the Reformation. I have read scores of books on Luther and Calvin. But I had never read a book on Zwingli until I read William Boekesteinâs offering in the Bitesize Biographies series by EP Books. In his book, Boekestein shows Zwingli to be a man committed to the church and to rightly dividing the Word of God. He was a man who longed to see a pure church. This he had in common with the other Reformers. But just like them, he discovered that reform would forever change the church as he knew it. Boekestein skillfully shows the reader Zwingliâs strengths and weaknesses. As the book progresses, the reader also sees the sanctification and the struggles in Zwingliâs faith.
