The Life of Sir Thomas More, written by his son-in-law William Roper, offers an unparalleled glimpse into the heart and mind of one of history's most admired figures. With warmth and intimacy, Roper recounts More's rise from a brilliant young scholar to Lord Chancellor of England - and his courageous fall, as he refuses to compromise his conscience in the face of royal command.

Set during the political and religious upheaval of Tudor England, this firsthand account illuminates More's unwavering commitment to truth, his deep faith, and his steadfast integrity. Alongside his public service, Roper gives us a view into More's home life: his wit, humility, affection for his children, and quiet spiritual disciplines that sustained him.

Praised by Erasmus as "a man more pure than snow," More's life continues to inspire those who value principle above power. This short but profound biography stands as a timeless example of moral courage and Christian virtue - ideal for readers who seek stories that challenge the spirit and nourish the soul.
