To the End of the World - 4327

To the End of the World tells of Michel de la Tour d’Auvergne, a Frenchman of high ideals whose cherished ambition is to see the great monastery of Cluny enkindle in France the fervor of faith in Christ and his Church. Yet it is the year 1789 and monasteries great and small are to serve as kindling for an altogether different fire: the conflagration of Church and tradition in the name of Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. From the ashes of Cluny, Michel rises to pursue that same aim of awakening France from its spiritual slumber—albeit now in the humble role of parish priest to a cheerless fishing village. When the Revolutionaries impose the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, Michel refuses to take the Oath, thereby setting into motion a string of tumultuous events that will bring him to the shadow of the guillotine itself. Yet another example of Helen C. White’s outstanding merits as a storyteller of humanity and history, To the End of the World captures the tumult of the French Revolution and the terrible question it set before men of God—whether they truly believed in the words of their Savior: “Behold I am with you all days, even to the end of the world.”
