The history woven into this story is so superb that I had to keep reminding myself this is historical “fiction”, not necessarily truth. The attention to historical detail is amazing! The author makes history come alive, and makes us realize what it may have been like back in that time period. I love this powerful quote: “No matter the inconsistency of man and his opinions, God would remain in control.” And this is my favorite quote: “Allow Him to bring you near enough that you can feel His strength.” I enjoyed this entire series, but this may be my favorite one! I received this book through Celebrate Lit, and wasn’t required to leave a favorable review. I am voluntarily giving own free opinion of the book, and highly recommending this inspiring read.
This is the third book in this series and you will want to read the first two to enjoy this one more. This is a very good historical fiction story that takes place in 1775 in South Carolina. This has a great love story and you learn a bit of history from this time period. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
‘Watch the road; strengthen your back, summon all your strength.’ Nahum 2:1
This third book in the Revolutionary Faith series moves us even closer to all-out war with the British. Marriages happen, births are celebrated, life goes on as normal……or does it? The characters we have come to know and love have many decisions to make as the reality of war becomes clearer. One side will win, but at what cost? History is played out in detail, with fictional license, and yet bringing those facts to life in a way that made me feel like I was in the gallery at the Continental Conference listening as points were discussed and resolutions were passed. Yet through all this instability the constant remained that God was in control and freedom centered on His love and peace!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope that there will be others in this series, as there is so much more to learn about the birth of our great nation.

I am enjoying the continuing story of Louis and Elizabeth. Their growing family. Also the rest of their extended family. I really am hoping there will more books in the series.
Set in Charles Town, South Carolina in the 1770’s. I love reading historical books and this series is definitely trying to get me to remember the history I learned in school. Only a few states in the United States at this time. A very interesting time in history.
I received an complimentary copy of the book from Celebrate Lit. I was not required to write an positive review. This is my own opinion.
If you have not read the first two books in this series, I highly recommend you grab a copy of each. The author takes us on an adventure through time during 1775. There was a lot going on in the world and men are having to take sides in order to protect their families. I love the author’s very detailed historical facts which helps us understand what trials men and women went through to survive.
Louis has his hands full as he and his wife Elizabeth welcome a new baby. Surrounding them is more talk of discord among the British and colonists which makes Louis uneasy. The tea Act has caused many to be ready to fight for what is theirs and Louis is right in the middle of the action. Charles Town is their home and Louis must step up to protect his family. The story takes on a serious tone when a few of the women learn to shoot. They must be able to protect themselves and their children if their husbands aren’t around. I could feel the tension in the air as reality started to sink in for these women. It is hard to imagine that people had to be on guard at all times as danger lurks just a whisper away.
I found it very profound when one of the characters said, “I wonder what will be said of us when someone records 1775.” They had no way to know that history was being made and that time period would be pivotal to the world. I wonder sometimes what it will be like when my children start having families. There is still even today the uncertainty of peace in the world. Louis and Elizabeth are just on the verge of danger as more threats are rumored by the Loyalists and Patriots.
As the tension builds friends are pitted against each other. The refusal of unloading British ships take a toll on the town. People watch as cargo after cargo are dumped into the water and their hope for food and necessities are lost as the waves carry the shipment out to sea. You can feel the hopelessness settle in as supplies start to dwindle. It was a difficult time for all, and people started to wonder if war would soon break out. I loved reading about this time period and how men and women stood up for their cause. The author has delivered an intense look at history and how it changed many lives.
