The American Patriot Series
by J. M. Hochstetler


Signed volumes of The American Patriot Series are now available from Amazon through Sheaf House Direct!

Picture

The American Patriot Series is the only truly comprehensive fictional series on the American Revolution. Painstakingly researched using a wide range of primary resources as well as the latest popular and scholarly histories of the American colonial and Revolutionary periods, it contains a highly engaging and accurate account of the founding of the United States. While the series is written for adult readers, it is also appropriate for students from middle school through college age. The books of the American Patriot Series will engage students and bring history alive in a way that non-fiction texts cannot.

AUTHENTIC DIVERSITY

At the time of the Revolution the American colonies were already a melting pot of racial, ethnic, and religious groups. The American Patriot Series accurately depicts this diversity by portraying the involvement of women, African Americans, Native Americans, and other groups in the struggle for independence.

CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS

The American Revolution and the establishment of the United States are based solidly in the Christian faith of our founding generation, as innumerable primary resources document. It is therefore appropriate for the American Patriot Series to reflect those crucial aspects of our nation's founding by accurately depicting the beliefs and values of those who sacrificed their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to bring this nation to birth.

SERIES THEME

The overarching theme of the American Patriot Series, the life journey to find one’s true home in God’s kingdom, is one that will resonate with many readers. While enduring the anguish of war and separation, Elizabeth and Carleton discover that, even more than the grand ideal of liberty and the deep intimacy of earthly love, they seek that eternal city of God where they will no longer be aliens and strangers, but citizens. For as events out of their control rush toward a fateful climax, they learn that true peace and lasting freedom are found in God alone.

The Heritage Edition features the paintings of Don Troiani and other renowned artists.
