The Victors (American Family Portraits #7)
by By Cavanaugh, Jack
Category: Fiction , Historical

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     Nazi 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.
