Child Prophets of the Huguenots: The Sacred Theatre of the Cevennes

First published in London in 1707, this book is a collection of testimonies about the small prophets of the Cevennes , these young boys and girls, sometimes infants who called the Protestant people to repentance and later on to resistance. This book highlights a little known prophetic movement which took place between 1688 and 1702 in the South of France (Drome, Vivarais, Cevennes and Bas Languedoc). These witnesses, who were also fighters, affirm their unwavering convictions and tell how they became prophetic, and how their prophetic gift led them to take arms to fight for their freedom of conscience. Many of them went into exile in England, Switzerland, Holland and Germany.
