The Deacon

the long version

This is the story of Elizabeth Dirks, an Anabaptist martyr who lived and died in the Netherlands in the sixteenth century. Her story is an inspiration to all. Left as a virtual orphan at a convent, trained as a nun, Elizabeth questioned the meaning of life until she found satisfaction and eternal life in a personal relationship with Christ. This brought her into direct conflict with her superiors and her church training. Elizabeth's eagerness to serve Christ eventually led to her martyrdom. ~ from the back cover
