What ch. are skipped in Peril and Peace?

Hi!
I've heard so many great things about these books, so I'm wondering which chapers are skipped in Peril and Peace and why?

Just looking over things for next year and wondering...

God bless,

I am pretty sure it is the chapters on Origen and the one after that. I think Carrie said they were skipped due to content. As I scanned through them I did see some pretty detailed description of the torture they endured. I just read this book to pre-read it for next year. It is a very good book, but a sensitive child could struggle with some of it which is why Carrie gives warnings about several other chapters in it. My ds is on the older end of the guide so I will have him read the assigned chapters, but I will plan on talking to him about the content in the chapters where she gives a heads up. Skipping those two chapters does not detract from the book at all. I skipped them myself so that I was only reading what he would read.
