Edward VI: England's Valiant Boy King

Though the life of England's King Edward VI was cut
short by illness, it was a life full of adventure, courage, and
faithfulness to his Christian standards.

This sovereign of British history has long been known as
the “English Josiah” because his zeal for the Word of God
paralleled that of his Judean namesake, and because their
youthful ascents to their respective thrones and their
profound influences upon their respective societies were so
similar. In both their experiences, the light and truth of God's
Word was proclaimed in their lands after long years of the
darkness of apostasy and ignorance.

The life of Edward Tudor was one of privilege, opulence,
splendor, and true happiness. It was also one of
uncompromising faith put to the test not only by deception
and treachery of Machiavellian proportions but also by
heartrending tragedy. Ultimately, his life was one of glorious
triumph.

Finally, the story of this young king's life is one that will
inspire the reader of today as much as it did those who knew
him during his brief lifetime, challenging him to stand firm
in their convictions as a Christian, even in the face of intense
opposition.
