At the heart of the Reformation were Wycliff, Zvingli, Luther, and, in Central Europe - Hus. Histeaching of a return to basic Biblical principles caused a violent reaction from the Vatican, resulting in the Pope sending Catholic armies into Moravia to put down what they considered arebellion against the Church.Jan Hus, like the other reformers was a priest who faced the possibility of death for his Biblicalbeliefs. The return to basic Biblical teaching raced through Moravia as the people recognizedthe oppression of the Catholic Church's deviations from the Bible, and as they trusted God'sprotection against the attacks that would surely come.Jan Zhizhka, a one-eyed general, organized and led an army to protect the believers from themurderous threats of the Pope's armies. His successful tactics allowed time for Hus' followersto create cities of Refuge, and protect themselves as a righteous remnant. Those tactics wouldbe copied in a later generation by armor commanders Rommel and Patton.This book tells of the heroic lives of these two men, whose actions allowed present dayChristians to reap the harvest of the Reformation - freedom to practice Christianity as intendedby God's Word.
