The Challenges, Patriotism, & Spiritual Insights Of The Revolutionary War

The Battlefields & Blessings: The Revolutionary War comes alive through the viewpoints of the Revolution's key players - George Washington, King George III, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Nathanael Greene, Henry Knox, and Benjamin Franklin.

Excerpts from their original manuscripts, letters, and speeches give the book authenticity and accuracy. Unlike many books with historical subjects, this devotional incorporates faith as an important element in the decisions and emotions of these heroes and heroines. It also shows the life purpose of the patriots.

Each week features five stories that chronicle the Revolutionary War. The Sunday devotional entitled "Sabbath Rest" highlights a sermon from the Revolutionary era. These fifty-two meaty messages show how Scripture is as alive today as it was during America's founding. They reveal the spiritual struggle facing the aptriots as they decided to pursue independence, take up arms, and form a new government that better represented the people. The week concludes with "The Revolution Today," taking a modern-day twist on topics presented in the preceding stories, such as contentment and life purpose.

Because the stories chronicle America's Revolutionary War and cover more than two decades, the book does not correspond to seasons and holidays. As a result, readers may begin the book anytime during the year. The stories are so captivating that readers may wish to read the book cover-to-cover.

As you consider the meaning of the American Revolution, may you also experience a revolution in your own heart, one devotional at a time.
