Loading... The Puritans (1994)by Jack Cavanaugh
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. I had read several of the other American Portrait series prior to reading 'The Puritans'. Although each book is a great read in its own right, ‘The Puritans’ has provided all the background to the Morgan family’s history, which has been alluded to in all other volumes. The historical characters included in each book and the manner in which fact and fiction are woven together makes this series a ‘must read’. (  ) DCarlin | Jan 23, 2016 |  Drew Morgan, a young Englishman, is told to infiltrate the Puritan villages and report back to Bishop Laud, but his heart changes as he meets these people and falls in love with one of them. He goes to the colonies to avoid further confrontation with the bishop, but the trouble soon follows him. nolak | Jun 26, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
The stirring epic of faith, love, and sacrifice--a monumental saga of the courageous men and women who called themselves The Puritans Young Drew Morgan has an enviable position. Handpicked by Bishop Laud, next to the king the most powerful man in England, it is his assignment to infiltrate Puritan villages, turn over "traitors" to the church and crown, and discover the secret identity of the notorious pamphleteer Justin. But when Drew falls in love with a Puritan curate's daughter, his personal fortunes begin to falter as his spiritual yearnings take root. After unwittingly betraying what he knows to be right, the stage is set for his conversion. At last Drew sails to the New World colony of Massachusetts and sets out to win the forgiveness of those whom he has wronged--especially the woman he loves. Only as Bishop Laud reaches his long arm across the ocean in one final threat can Drew prove his true mettle and affections. Trace this unforgettable adventure of one of America's first families of faith, the beginnings of a vibrant spiritual heritage that will span generations. No library descriptions found. |
