Sinopsis

Facing hisámost cunning foe, can Robertáserve the Lord,ásave the king, and forestallácivil war?ItâÇÖs 1630 and thereâÇÖs a bounty on the head of King Charles I. English cities are plastered with pamphlets and posters promising riches and honors to whoever kills the king. The Lord Inquirer, Robert Curtis, searches for answers. Who is this dangerous pamphleteer who would launch England and the church into civil war? And how does a Christian man serve a tyrant without becoming an instrument of injustice?The KingâÇÖs enemies, like his sins, are vast and varied. Trampling on the Magna Carta and the rights of Englishmen, he betrays allies, nobles, churchmen, and humble subjects alike. Famine made grain scarce and costly, but the king sells as a profiteer of misery. Novel new taxes not approved by Parliament add a heavy burden to the starving subjects put out of work by his greed. Families who are displaced from generations of tenancy to make way for mines and the kingâÇÖs sheep on royal lands parade in protest. And his French Catholic wife rocks the foundations of the Church of England.áCan there be loyalty and fidelity in the face of such cruelty? Would even God save such a king?áFor God and King is the fourth book of the Robert Curtis Mysteries, a series exploring politics, religion, and stories of faith, mercy, justice, and love.
