Prelude To Glory Our Sacred Honor - Volume 1 in Series by Ron Carter

Few stories are as compelling as that of the birth of the United States of America. It is a story of courage and sacrifice, of commitment to freedom and faith, and of victory in the face of nearly impossible odds. For adventure and romance, the American revolution is a saga like no other. Those world-changing events are brought to like in the epic historical fiction series Prelude To Glory. In volume 1, Our Sacred Honor, author Ron Carter transports readers to the 1770's to witness key initial episodes of the Revolutionary War, from the opening encounter at Lexington (where "the shot heard round the world" is fired) to the incredible sea battle off the east coast of England (where the American commander John Paul Jones exclaims, " I have not yet begun to fight"). But this is much more than a story of kings and generals. Though we certainly get to meet the likes of Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Benedict Arnold, the Author focuses on the perspective of the common people. Thus, through the eyes of the fictional Dunson family of Boston, we see what is was like to lie in everyday colonial America, to be one of the minutemen, to sail the seas at wartime, and to experience love and heartache as America's destiny unfolds. The underlying spiritual nature of that destiny is powerfully woven into the fabric of the story. And this spiritual perspective will give readers a better understanding of why the Founding Fathers were moved upon  to champion a cause to which they boldly pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
