Marie Durand: Faithful Behind Bars

In 1730, nineteen-year-old Marie Durand was arrested simply because her brother was a Protestant preacher. Taken from her home in Southern France, she was locked away in the Tower of Constance—where she would remain imprisoned for thirty-eight long years.

Marie could have walked free at any time...if she had agreed to deny her faith. But she refused. Instead, she encouraged her fellow prisoners to stay strong in Christ, turning her suffering into a life of courageous service.

With beautiful illustrations and a clear, heartfelt narrative, this story introduces young readers to the hardships faced by Protestants in eighteenth-century France. Marie Durand’s steadfast faith shows that even within prison walls, a life can shine brightly for Jesus.

Her story is a powerful reminder: true freedom is found in faithfulness.

Endorsements

“Simonetta opens a window into Marie Durand's life and world, giving us a glimpse of what French Protestants experienced during the reigns of King Louis XIV and of his great-grandson, Louis XV of France. We admire their courage and tenacity and desire to follow their example of faithful perseverance under trial, thus bringing glory to God. I'm sure that readers will enjoy this beautifully produced book as they learn about an era in French church history that not many are exposed to.”
—Françoise Anderson, librarian at Bethel Seminary, San Diego, and author of a forthcoming biography of Pierre and Marie Durand

“A wonderful and engaging story of courage, faith, and hope in an era of persecution, this story of the trials and tribulations of Marie Durand is sure to inspire many.”
—Martin Klauber, affiliate professor of church history, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
