In this episode 277, we visit with Robert Conrad, author of “John Fisher and Thomas More, Keeping Their Souls While Losing Their Heads."
This book examines the lives (and deaths) of Bishop John Fisher and Lord Chancellor Thomas More who "died the King's good servant, but God's first." Sixteenth century figures who spoke truth to power when, resolutely and cheerfully they resisted King Henry VIII's demand to swear to an oath against their conscience.
The book consists of a series of stories told with a trial lawyer’s passion for advocacy and an Irishman’s love for a well-told story.
Former Attorney General John Ashcroft had this to say about the book: “Ambivalence and ambiguity do not inhabit these pages. Validated historic lives project principles desperately needed by our modern culture of convenience and ‘compromised integrity.’ Don’t read this unless you are prepared, first to be intimidated by the lives of focused virtue; and then inspired with God’s help to imitate them.”
