"Reading Polycarp: The Crown of Fire was well worth it...I was captivated by the dialog Newsom powerfully crafted..."
Reader review from Seasonal Soundings
"Let yourself be transported to a world far different than our own through the writings of Newsom."
Reader review from Christianscoop.com
"...grabs
the reader's attention on page one, and then weaves an action-filled
story through to the final page. Drawing from ancient records, William
Newsom paints a vivid picture of life during the early days of the
Christian church. Once into the story, it is hard to put it down...The
accuracy of historical events in Newsom's writing makes this an
enthralling way to learn history."
