Summary

Jesuit priest John Gerard (1564-1637) hid from English authorities for eight years before his eventual capture and torture in the Tower of London. Risking everything to preserve Catholicism in Tudor England, Gerard moved from house to house, converting many people and evading capture by mere seconds. Following a hair's-breadth escape from the Tower to the continent, he survived to tell his tale and pass on his experience to future missionaries and martyrs in The Autobiography of a Hunted Priest, a fascinating tale of espionage, disguise, priest hunters, invisible ink and brilliantly designed hideouts.

A heroic story of grit and determination, Gerard's autobiography unequivocally captures humanity's courage and resolve in the face of oppression.

Fascinating and Inspiring

A great opportunity to hear the first-hand account of a Catholic priest serving in England during the persecution. It reveals the best and the worst of human nature. The depth of faith of so many willing to suffer and die, yet rejoice at their opportunity to serve God, is a great encouragement to all.
