Spiritual Renewal Comes to America!In 1739 America is in a state of spiritual despair, although signs of life have appeared to some. Catherine Harrison and her father are believers, but he's desperately ill, and her mother's choice is for Catherine to marry the wealthy magistrate's son. Pastor Harrison sends his daughter to William Tennent's "Log College" with an urgent summons-"Get the German." Henry Sharp, the German, is looking for a position when Catherine shows up bearing her father's mysterious directive.At last, Henry hears, "This is the way, go in it." But the path is neither easy nor simple. He faces immediate opposition from the church, and he isn't free to pursue his affections for Catherine. When the elders force Henry to leave, George Whitefield, evangelist extraordinaire, invites him on a tour, and Catherine sees a potential relationship with Henry slip away. Just before Henry and Whitefield return to Philadelphia months later, Catherine faces a new crisis. Might she have a second chance?Morning Glory captures the spirit of the thirteen colonies during the First Great Awakening, which forever changed America and its people. Readers will recognize Whitefield, Benjamin Franklin, and Jonathan Edwards, as well as their own spiritual struggles. This is the first book in a series about revivals which shaped American history.
What happens when you do everything right, but life turns out all wrong? Erin Miles and Peter Kichline have made critical decisions impacting not only themselves but their families and communities. They were careful. Deliberate. And still, the outcome isn't favorable. Revolution has come to Northampton County, igniting patriots with the publication of Thomas Paine's Common Sense. Others are aflame with indignation-breaking away from Great Britain is sheer madness! Moravians and Mennonites want to avoid armed conflict at all costs. Peter is accused of dragging his heels and accepting a bribe to put the brakes on the patriots, tarnishing his sterling reputation. A far less experienced officer is chosen to command Northampton County's Flying Camp. Will Peter recapture his standing in time, or will the untested novice lead the men to battle? Will he be home for the birth of his next child? Erin has always loved teaching, so why does she feel so out of sorts? And why does one student disdain her so much he turns to threats? Her ailing parents can't be in the same room together, and her preteen son develops an aversion to school and a fondness for cell phones. Her new church and DAR chapter aren't what she's used to, and she has a misunderstanding with the man she thought just might figure into her future. Easton at the Crossroads is book three in the much-loved Easton Series about two people, two hundred years apart, joined by blood ties, parallel experiences, and a winsome town beckoning "come home."
