The Design of Providence
Description
The Design of Providence is a commemorative collection of short stories crafted to bring to life America's earliest days. Before there was a United States, there was a dream forged in the crucible of revolution-and a steadfast belief that a divine hand was shaping the nation's destiny. From the bloody snow of the Boston Massacre to the treacherous battlefields of the South, the path to liberty was fraught with peril, heartbreak, and impossible choices.
Who were our Founding Fathers? And who were the unknown heroes who made the difference? Intertwining fact and fiction, each story masterfully explores the personal cost of allegiance, the agony of families divided by war, and the quiet, persistent thread of faith that wove through it all. Some stories focus on a particular historical figure, while others bring real-life situations to life through fictional characters.
Journey alongside historical giants like George Washington and his steadfast valet, William Lee. Witness the fire of a young Andrew Jackson standing against British tyranny, and feel the tension as John Adams, America's first ambassador, stands before the very king he defied. Feel the tension of possible betrayal in the north, and the deadly division of families in the South.
Celebrate America's 250th birthday with this immersive, faith-filled journey into the soul of a nation's founding. Ten authors contributed fourteen stories that weave a multi-colored tale of the Revolutionary War.
