No Cross No Crown

Newly presented for the modern reader - the book that shaped a nation through the wisdom and power of Cross-Shaped living. William Penn established the English colony of Pennsylvania in 1681 and helped create the United States that we know today. Largely written during his twenties while imprisoned in the infamous Tower of London, No Cross, No Crown carries the spiritual force of a pivotal public figure tested by fire. Rarely seen since it was first published in 1668, this new edition captures The Great Challenge that continues to face the contemporary political and religious world. It stands as an enduring call to a radical life of service and self denial. And it offers a compelling rejection of both false monarchs and a society divorced from God. William Penn (1644-1718) was a dissenting Quaker and early advocate of democracy, religious freedom and treaties with Native Americans.
