Profligate London, 1788. Slave ships haunt the seas, bearing human cargos to further the wealth of the rich and destroy the souls of the slave traffickers.

Russell Lawrence is an avid skeptic. Captain of the slave ship Barbados, wealthy, and a respected leader, he views religion as a crutch for the weak. But when the debauchery of the slave trade begins to destroy his good morals, his battle becomes more than fighting pirates and mutineers. What if there really is a God?

Impressed as a cabin boy, Jack Dunbar sees his forced service on the Barbados as a God-given opportunity to witness Christ to the crew. But his efforts to influence the hardened slavers seems to be doing little good. How is it possible to live as a Christian on the sin-ravaged seas? Can his light shine bright in Africa's dark interior?

Back in Grosvenor Square, Elizabeth Grey battles opposition from society and her self-seeking fiancé. Her work with John Newton to end the slave trade is being harshly attacked. She faces life branded as a jilter and radical if she stands up for what she believes in. Will she ever glean the strength to call sin by its rightful name?

A tale of adventure on the high seas, redemption, and faith. Sin abounds. Is grace enough to conquer doubt and triumph over evil?

Hi Alicia! Great post! To answer your question, in my second Six Cousins book, England Adventure, I tried to portray God's grace through Paris, a young woman the cousins meet in England. Through Marielle's influence, Paris fully realizes God's grace. The movie "Amazing Grace" (about William Wilberforce) plays a role as well. :)

I have seen God's grace with people who have come thru horrible things but have a faith that has survived and is stronger at the end.

I'd love to read this book . I believe we all need to put God into our lives a lot more than we do . He has gotten me through some hard times and protected me at times . I know He watches over me .

I believe that God's grace is inherent within us all. Some of us can dip right into it
while others have a problem figuring out just how to access it. Free-will is how
grace is utilized.
