Spend ten unforgettable summer days in 2011 exploring castles, battlefields, hideouts, churches, moorlands, and graves of Scottish Covenanters, and Hadrian's Wall and other sites related to Hostage Lands. Author of more than a dozen books and veteran teacher, Douglas Bond has guided hundreds of students and their parents to important historical sites.
On the Crown & Covenant Trilogy Tour you will visit memorable sites featured in Duncan's War, King's Arrow, Rebel's Keep, and Guns of the Lion. And you will see fascinating sites from Hostage Lands and Bond's forthcoming biography on John Knox (Reformation Trust). You will tramp high on the moors where Covenanters risked their lives to worship King Jesus. You will make your way into the glens and caves where they worshiped and hid from the king's dragoons, and you will plant your feet where many of them took their last stand, upholding the Crown Rights of the Redeemer in his Kirk.
