Description

Katherine Parr was a remarkable woman. The final wife of the infamous King Henry VIII. She became the gentle companion and confidant of an oft angry, irascible, and viscous monarch and with whom she undoubtedly shared the Good News of Jesus. She ruled England for six months while Henry was in France. She reunited Henry's family. Through her influence, women were, for the first time, listed as successors to the throne of England. She left an indelible mark upon young Elizabeth who would later rule England for forty-five years. She was the first woman to be published in England under her own name.Yet of all her accomplishments, her legacy remains a small treatise, unknown and buried in obscurity for hundreds of years, in which she profoundly set forth the primary teachings of the Christian faith - "The Lamentation of a Sinner."
