Inspirational Historical
Following on the heels of The Wings of Morning, the first
book in Murray Pura’s Snapshots in History series, comes
this compelling saga of the Civil War. In April 1861, Lyndel Keim discovers two runaway slaves in
her family’s barn. When the men are captured and returned to
their plantation, Lyndel and her young Amish beau, Nathaniel
King, find themselves at odds with their pacifist Amish colony Nathaniel enlists in what will become the famous Iron
Brigade of the Union Army. Lyndel enters the fray as a
Brigade nurse on the battlefield, sticking close to
Nathaniel as they both witness the horrors of war—including
the battles at Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, and
Antietam. Despite the pair’s heroic sacrifices, the Amish
only see that Lyndel and Nathaniel have become part of the
war effort, and both are banished. And a severe battle wound at Gettysburg threatens
Nathaniel’s life. Lyndel must call upon her faith in God to
endure the savage conflict and to face its painful
aftermath, not knowing if Nathaniel is alive or dead. Will
the momentous battle change her life forever, just as it
will change the course of the war and the history of her
country? The Face of Heaven is a dramatic story that will release on
the 150th anniversary of the historic battle of Antietam,
September, 1862.
