In 1536, a young Apothecary, Will Tyndale, has his idyllic life interrupted when his favorite uncle and namesake is burned alive as a heretic. His uncle’s crime? ...translating the Old and New Testaments into the first English Bibles. Will is recruited by the man who funded his uncle's work and reluctantly agrees to retrieve 1,000 of his uncle's Bibles from their hiding place in Antwerp Belgium. This causes Will to leave his comfortable, small-town life, travel to London, and prepare for what he believes is an honorable mission. Once on his quest he is challenged by bullies, strangers, corruption, deceit, murder, and a street-fight but nothing more challenging than a young woman who wins his heart and helps him discover what kind of man he really is. After he accomplishes his quest, Will finds himself being described by the same words used by Jesus when He called his disciples men worth the "salt of the earth."
