About this book
Lake scenery and a visit to a church in Turin introduce J. N. Worsfold's account of the Waldensian valleys of Piedmont. Travelling with an Italian pastor, he describes the route towards La Torre Pelice and the mountains surrounding the community's homes. His purpose combines a compact history of the Waldenses with an appeal for support for their church, including a proposed memorial building in Val Angrogna.
The historical chapters cover church beliefs and organization, persecution, exile, and the struggle to regain the valleys. In the middle excerpt, Henri Arnaud leads a threatened community through shortages, military pressure, prayer, and a difficult retreat towards Balsille. Worsfold writes with clear sympathy for the Waldenses and interprets their endurance through his Christian faith.
