The Colonists

In the years before America became a nation, new generations were born to the Puritans, men and women historians have called The ColonistsThe untimely death of Benjamin Morgan, great grandson of Drew Morgan, has splintered his Boston family into feuding factions. Neither eldest son Philip, headstrong daughter Priscilla, nor rebellious young Jared seems to care for each other let alone their father’s faith in God. And Constance, Benjamin’s widow, is so overcome with loneliness that she can do little to restore harmony. It appears that Drew’s dream of a strong Christian heritage, passing without fail from one generation of Morgans to the next, is in jeopardy. When Daniel Cole, an unethical merchant, forces each of the three children as well as their mother to points of crisis and decision, God’s Spirit sweeps through the colonies in a dramatic revival. At last, Philip and his siblings see the error of their divisiveness. But can their newfound faith and unity withstand the unscrupulous Cole, who has manipulated Constance into marriage and who will stop at nothing to destroy a now thriving Morgan family business?From the cobbled streets of Boston to a Narragansett Indian village to the Atlantic’s high seas, follow life in colonial New England through the adventures of one of America’s first families of faith.

The Patriots

Esau and Jacob Morgan had been at odds with each other since their births moments apart. Their rivalry had spanned three decades and reached its peak when Jacob practically stole the attractive Mercy Reed for his wife while Esau, her fianc was away studying in England. Now Jared and Anne Morgan are forced to watch as their sons take opposing stands in the struggle for American liberty. Will the war for independence tear the Morgans apart? And if they survive, will the Morgan family faith and Bible continue in America, or will they return to England where it all started?

The Adversaries

‘A nation divided against itself cannot stand,’ said Abraham Lincoln. And so the dark days of the Civil War threatened to pull America apart. The Adversaries The Jeremiah Morgans of Ohio and the Seth Coopers of Virginia share a friendship and faith stretching back two centuries to Edenford, England. Now that their children, Sarah and Daniel, are engaged to be married, that bond will forever be secured by blood. But when the Morgan brothers J.D., Marshall, and Willy run slaves to freedom during a Cooper family visit, a small scale skirmish between Northern and Southern families breaks out, prophetic of the full scale war to follow. As the Civil War erupts, the children of the two families are uprooted from home the boys to battlefields, Sarah to the big city of New York to write tracts for homesick soldiers. But their greater peril may come from New York banker Caleb McKenna, a long time enemy of the Morgans and Coopers, who plots revenge for the death of his only daughter. Can human relationships win out over political and geographical differences? Can a commitment to God and family overcome hatred and vendettas? Join a new generation of Morgans as they experience life and love amidst a nation at war with itself.

The Pioneers

The spirit of exploration and adventure spurred Americans ever westward. These are the daring men and women known as The Pioneers Twenty year old Jesse Morgan has always been a dreamer, the valiant hero in many an imaginary tale. But when a real life act of bravery appears to result in tragedy, Jesse flees the tenements of New York’s lower east side for a life of anonymity across the Great Plains. Little does he realize that he is being followed. His pursuers are Emily Austin, who knows the truth about the mishap and who also secretly desires to be Mrs. Jesse Morgan; Clara Morgan, Jesse’s sole surviving parent, who risks the dangers of the untamed prairie to find her only son; and Richard Tykas, an unsavory detective, who knows that when he finds Jesse he will find his real prey Emily Austin. But in hottest pursuit is God, whom Jesse has struggled to trust since a long ago factory fire robbed him of his father and his childlike faith. From the crime infested streets of 1890s New York to the boisterous frontier town of Denver, join the chase for Jesse Morgan in this fifth book of ‘An American Family Portrait.’ Jack Cavanaugh’s first book in this critically acclaimed series, The Puritans, was an ECPA Gold Medallion Award finalist.

The Allies

Theirs was a vision of peace. The world had outgrown war. Or so they thought. Belgium lies in ruins. France is about to fall. England is ablaze from nightly bombings. Can America’s late entry into the Great War make a difference? Can the world truly be made safe for democracy? Like the rest of the nation, the lives of the Morgan family are uprooted by the whirlpool of strife on the European continent, none more violently than Emily Morgan and her daughter, Katy, who are aboard the luxury liner Lusitania when it is torpedoed by a German U boat off the coast of Ireland. Eventually, both Katy and her younger brother, Johnny, long the family black sheep, become participants in the war itself, Katy as a nurse, Johnny as an aviator with a pursuit squadron. Through a series of ill fated events, rumor, and broken communications, the fate of the Morgans grows darker still when Katy and Johnny both find themselves caught behind German lines. Will Katy suffer the same martyr s death as the British nurse she so admired and tried to emulate? Can Johnny find the key to ending the war within himself and find that elusive personal peace or will his competitiveness destroy not only him but his sister as well?

The Victors

As the world battles the greatest evil of the century, once more American lives are jeopardized and Christian ideals put to the test. They who endure will be The Victors. After three centuries, the Morgan family’s spiritual heritage is waning. Gone are the days when Morgans struggled against religious persecution, carved civilization out of the wilderness, and fought to defeat slavery. Now, as the Na*zi menace engulfs Europe and Japanese militarism threatens the Pacific, the four young adult children of Johnny and Laura Morgan show small concern. Preoccupied with big bands, movies, radio, and sports, they care little about spiritual things. When a family reunion in San Diego is disrupted by news of Japan s attack on Pearl Harbor, Johnny and Laura s efforts to rekindle their children s interest in their roots are seemingly smothered. Within months, Alexandra, Walt, Nat, and Lily are scattered abroad, placed in situations that test their faith and endanger their lives. On the homefront, Johnny and Laura face rationing and threats of Japanese invasion. Then, like the Old Testament account of Job, come four messages bearing ill tidings about the fate of their children. Shaken by the news, Johnny and Laura are confronted by the possible extinction of an entire generation. With nowhere else to turn but God, they discover that in the blackest night His light shines brightest.
