King Henry VIII was The King with a Pope in His Belly

Are you keen to know really happened during the so-called Reformation in England? Tired of the Protestant propaganda which says that it was a good thing? If you want to know the truth about what really went on, two new books by English historian, Dr Bella d’Abrera are a must. They are short, easy to read, highly entertaining, and will give you an excellent grasp of the facts, as well as the characters, both good and bad, of this religious revolution.

 ‘A King with a Pope in His Belly’ and ‘Papists, Spaniards & Other Strangers.

In ‘A King with a Pope in His Belly’ Dr d’Abrera treats the violent reign of Henry VIII, his break with Rome and destruction of monastic life in England. Continuing in the second volume, ‘Papists, Spaniards & Other Strangers,’ the author presents meticulously researched and documented accounts of the short reign of Edward VI, the struggles between the contenting survivors of the throne, culminating in Mary Tudor’s bloodless victory over her enemies.

Review from Angelus website:
If you really want to understand The Reformation, the way it actually happened, this is the book you need. So often, studying history means laboring through long, tedious volumes, filled with facts but not life; not so with this book. Once you pick it up, you will find it hard to put down. It is like reading a great tale of adventure, with real, human characters, not abstract heresies. Instead of a list of dry dates
and facts, you will know the major characters almost personally. This book will provide you with a much better, deeper understanding of how The Reformation happened. Even is you already know a fair amount, even if you have read quite a few other good books on the subject, this book will bring it all back to life, and in sharper focus. It is an excellent addition to any bookshelf.
