The Shenandoah Road: A Novel of the Great Awakening - Lynne Basham Tagawa

Descriere The Shenandoah Road: A Novel of the Great Awakening - Lynne Basham Tagawa

\n \nWhat would it be like to live in colonial America during the time of the Great Awakening in the 1740s? And what would it be like for a girl born in Boston to be courted by a man from a different cultural background? John Russell and Abigail Williams are both challenged by the influence of George Whitefield's preaching, but in different ways.\n \nJohn Russell's heart aches from the loss of his wife, but the Shenandoah Valley frontiersman needs to marry again for his daughter's sake. At first he believes that he has found the right young woman, despite their differences in background, but his faith falters when time reveals that she isn't quite what she seemed. Can he truly love her? And what about his own failings?\n \nUnlike her disgraced sister, Abigail Williams obeys the Commandments. At least, she thinks herself a Christian until a buckskin-clad newcomer courts her. He treats her kindly but also introduces her to a sermon by the controversial preacher, George Whitefield. Her self-righteousness is shattered, and she wonders about their relationship. If she confesses her lack of faith, will John continue to love her?\n \nThis raw, realistic story is packed with historical details and theological truth. Romantic elements are clean and suitable for almost any age. \n
