Europe's Thirty Years War from 1618-1648 is widely known as a religious war between the Catholics and Protestants, but certainly included groups that together were called "Anabaptists" (meaning rebaptizers) by their enemies.  This religious war was so bloody that it helped drop Germany's population of 15 million in 1600 down to 10 million by 1650. 

Set in 1675 with their world on the upswing, Heinrich and Ada Mann are strong believers that live in the country outside Herrenberg, Bavaria (Germany).   Because of their firm stand and obedience only to the God of  the Scriptures, they realize severe persecution may be "just around the corner."  Although concerned for the future of all their children, the Manns are most concerned about their oldest son, Ernest.   Will Ernest accept the Christ as his Savior and be baptized, knowing the probable consequences of a true believer?

"The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the World, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:9-14) What that first Easter might have been like. The climax of God's plan for humanity, from Palm Sunday to Peter's reinstatement. Main title and chapter titles are from songs that I used to capture the mood of the moment, as it were, and I would really encourage you to listen to them. They are: Main title: "Glory" by The City Harmonic 1. without a crown: "Baby Boy" by For King & Country 2. the taste of eternity is here on our lips: "Taste of Eternity" by Bellarive 3. let me see redemption win: "Worn" by Tenth Avenue North 4. i heard a voice from the other side singing, "hold fast, love lasts.": "Without You" by For King & Country 5. when you know it, once you know it, and you hold it--it's unforgettable: "To The Dreamers" by For King & Country 6. keep my head from going down: "Something To Believe In" by Parachute 7. i could use a fresh beginning, too: "Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot (cover by @sugarcrystals, who is amazing and you should really check out her work. Both writing wise and cover wise. I literally gave her "thunder storm themed" and she came up with that. Because I am useless at giving hints.)
He saved you He saved me What about others? by Robbymak

The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!

The Colonel's Daughter [Elvis]

15 parts Complete

Our beloved Elvis Presley meets a pretty blonde girl over in Germany named Rachel, or "Rainie" Mott, right before he leaves to go home. He is thrown right into his career, and in the blink of an eye, he is in LA, starting on his next film G.I. Blues. While there on the set, he spots a familiar face--the girl who he met in Germany! Once the Colonel sees this young woman, he's shocked, and Elvis is even more so when she calls the Colonel "Dad." Elvis had no idea the Colonel had a daughter, and a rather beautiful one at that. And... he falls hard. But she wants nothing to do with him, at least on a romantic basis. So why is she staying close to him? Rainie only wanted to get a glimpse of him while she was in Europe for school, to see the guy her father picked up at a carnival and wanted to make big, but only so he could make big money. Well, time to go back to the states. She knows how controlling and money-hungry her father is, and she knows of his gambling addiction, so she worries for Elvis. If her father treats him anything like he treated her growing up, pushing and pushing and doing anything, even fraud, to make a buck, Elvis is in trouble. Also... Rainie holds a secret, a secret that her father and mother made her swear not to tell a soul, mainly since it could land her father in prison. Note: Colonel Parker didn't have any children as far as I know. This was just a fun idea.
