Paula, the Waldensian

Here's another I can hardly believe I never reviewed. Paula, orphaned, comes into a selfish, worldly French family and totally revolutionizes it by her faith and her witness. This story will break your heart and ignite your faith at the same time.

The Waldenses were a small sect who refused to join with the Catholic faith in the days before the Reformation. They were often persecuted, even feared for their beliefs. They might have had a quirk or two in their side theology, (such as standards of dress, etc) but the had the big things straight: salvation through faith alone. Some of their heritage can be traced through the Anabaptists and into modern groups such as Mennonites, Amish, Wesleyan Methodists, and Baptists.
