Two families--the Wakefields of nobility and the lower-class Morgans--are the focus of this sweeping generational saga, joined by intriguing personalities such as Elizabeth I, William Tyndale, and John Bunyan. Linking the people and events through the ages is the struggle of men and women who sought God as the answer to their difficulties. #5: The Ramparts of Heaven Follow the quest of Andrew Wakefield, a ministerial student at Oxford University, as he joins these shakers and movers in their attempts to advance the Methodist movement--and bring the realities of the gospel of Christ to a needy world.

Set against Methodist Revival in Britain, 1738–1791, the novel links a fictional dynasty to religious and political change, using Christian conversion as a central force while treating private encounters with historical figures imaginatively.
