Go, Daniel. Writing about what you believe. I am guessing he is deceased now. Seems like I read a condensed version of this one to my grandsons. Thanks for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Andrea, you summarized his life really well. I checked and he was imprisoned at times for his beliefs. So indeed, he was not afraid. Your tribute is perfect!
