5.0 out of 5 stars Real Life Examples of Courage, Conviction, and Commitment, October 27, 2007

By	Richard R. Blake (Bridgman, Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Jane Hampton Cook, has compiled, and edited a unique collection of writings of inspiration and courage. These writings are from the years of the Revolutionary War, a period when a committed group of men and women joined forces in a cause to maintain a freedom to exercise the personal conviction of their faith.

Viewpoints expressed by key players of the Revolution are included in this amazing collection of inspiration and challenge. George Washington, Samuel Adams, Nathaniel Greene, Henry Knox, Benjamin Franklin, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, John Adams, and King George III are among those that bring life to these individual examples of courage, conviction, and commitment.

Excerpts taken from original manuscripts, letters and speeches add greatly to the genuineness and authenticity of personal faith exercised in the decisions made during this period. These unique devotions include anecdotes that demonstrate the uplifting power of faith and reveal the personal battlefield of faith met by the leaders of the Revolution. The format of the book is designed for daily devotional use. Each week includes six days of stories built around individual faith and courage and are dsigned for reflection and contemplation. Each week includes a feature "The Revolution Today" directly related to incidents and issues relating to the war. The seventh day is dedicated to "Sabbath Rest" and features a sermon from a minister of the era. This is a book of patriotism and spiritual insight. It is the prayer of the author, Jane Hampton Cook, that: "As readers consider the meaning of the American Revolution, may they also experience a revolution in their own hearts one devotion at a time."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bullseye!, February 8, 2008

By	Mark L. Mathia "Author: Rising With the Son" (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If I were lost on an island and had only one other book (besides the Bible) I would hope it could be; Battlefields and Blessings. I love the well-researched historical facts coupled with Biblical impact on every page. We live in an awesome country! What a great way to start or finish a long day. I thought I was well studied on the Revolutionary war but...every page was packed full of insights I hadn't a clue. I highly recommend this book for people who love Jesus and have an interest in our country's history.
