The devoted Tyndale's mission was to translate the Bible into English -- so that it could be read by every ploughboy in England -- and he succeeded against incredible odds. He was aided by many besides Tom Barton and though ultimately betrayed, his work lives on." Scott O'Dell (1898-1989) was an American author.
