The Chalice by Nancy Bilyeau

4.0

The Chalice is a great book, yet unknowingly I read this before The Crown. Even with reading this book before the other, I was able to follow the story and understand what was happening. The story is of a young ex-novice Joanna Stafford as she struggles with a prophesy that she was to fulfill - bringing King Henry VIII off the throne. She is thrown into an unending, perilous journey that leads her to face many uncomfortable situations that she wishes to not face. In the journey though, she is able to come to understand who she is as a person and what God's true plans are for her. An amazing book talking about living for your beliefs and never backing down.
