The Free Church on the Island of Lewis

An expression of the passionate religious feeling of a community portrayed until now as lunatic, bigoted Sabbatarians, concerned only with the suppression of joy and the threat of hell-fire. It is the story of an island where Christianity in its purest Calvinist form is right at the centre of life: a story of fervent devotion, of predestination and the certainty of grace for God's elect. This is a Puritan England of 300 years ago, alive today in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

"A remarkably vivid account" (Daily Telegraph)
