Go, Daniel. Writing about what you believe. I am guessing he is deceased now. Seems like I read a condensed version of this one to my grandsons. Thanks for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Andrea, you summarized his life really well. I checked and he was imprisoned at times for his beliefs. So indeed, he was not afraid. Your tribute is perfect!

I like what you did with the form you chose. I'd read that he wasn't afraid to express what he believed, either directly or inferred. Thanks for stirring my memory of reading Robinson Crusoe. I think I read it as a teen...more than just a few years ago :-) Happy Easter, blessings, Sara
