Revolution, the Taste of Freedom

Faith. Family. Freedom. The fight for all three begins here.

In the shadow of British tyranny, two families leave England to seek a new life in the American colonies. Bound by friendship and their devotion to the Word of God, the Rutledges and the Reeds build their lives in the Massachusetts countryside-only to find that the freedom they sought must be fought for once again.

As unrest brews across the thirteen colonies, their sons-Joshua and Caleb-are thrust into the heart of the Revolutionary War. From the Boston Massacre to the bitter winter at Valley Forge, from moments of personal heartbreak to the fire of battle, they witness the birth of a nation and come to understand the true cost of liberty.

Rooted in Christian faith and rich with historical detail, Revolution: The Taste of Freedom brings the American fight for independence to life through the eyes of families who dared to believe in a better future.

Discover a story of courage, conviction, and the enduring power of faith in the face of tyranny.
