My review today is on the Historical Romance, The Shenandoah Road. This is A Novel of the Great Awakening. It takes place in 1744 during Mr. Whitefield's revival. This is a great read. It is well written and full of information about Whitefield Sermons. I know you are going to love it.
John Russell is a widower with a young daughter. His wife was killed by Indians. He leaves his home to visit his father in Philadelphia to find a wife. His father introduces him to his boss' daughter. A very attractive young woman but is she a Christian? Would she be a good mother to his daughter? He courts her, reading Whitefield's sermons to her and explained them to her. She agrees to marriage and they leaves on a journey of several weeks.
Abigail Williams is a well off merchants daughter. She has led a sheltered life. She loves Botany and the sturdy of herbs and medicinals. she's not sure about the man her father has picked out for her. She is thrilled when John brings her a book from an apothecary on herbs and medicinal plants. This is something she can do. She is not much of a homemaker. Can she keep John and his daughter happy when she has always had a housekeeper? She feels very inadequate. His views on religion is very different from hers. Can she make him happy?
A long journey across the wilderness full of hardships and terrors. God has a plan for this little family; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him move in your life.
