The myth and the reality of Ethan Allen and the much-loved Green Mountain Boys of Vermont—a “surprising and interesting new account…useful, informative reexamination of an often-misunderstood aspect of the American Revolution” (Booklist).In the “highly recommended” (Library Journal) Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom, Wren overturns the myth of Ethan Allen as a legendary hero of the American Revolution and a patriotic son of Vermont and offers a different portrait of Allen and his Green Mountain Boys. They were ruffians who joined the rush for cheap land on the northern frontier of the colonies in the years before the American Revolution. Allen did not serve in the Continental Army but he raced Benedict Arnold for the famous seizure of Britain’s Fort Ticonderoga. Allen and Arnold loathed each other. General George Washington, leery of Allen, refused to give him troops. In a botched attempt to capture Montreal against specific orders of the commanding American general, Allen was captured in 1775 and shipped to England to be hanged. Freed in 1778, he spent the rest of his time negotiating with the British but failing to bring Vermont back under British rule. “A worthy addition to the canon of works written about this fractious period in this country’s history” (Addison County Independent), this is a groundbreaking account of an important and little-known front of the Revolutionary War, of George Washington (and his good sense), and of a major American myth. Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom is an “engrossing” (Publishers Weekly) and essential contribution to the history of the American Revolution.

Don’t be fooled by the “to go” title, as if the point were to rush through the contents of this book. Rather, Christopher wants to make Pope Francis’s wisdom accessible to those who might not have the time to sift through his document in its entirety.Francis observes that ministers of the new evangelization “should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty, and who invite others to a delicious banquet”. That’s Christopher's intention in putting this little book together: to share the joy, point to the beauty, and invite you to the delicious banquet he’s discovered in Pope Francis’s teaching. Bon appetit!Praise for POPE FRANCIS TO GO...“The world is thirsting for the gospel. Unfortunately, in recent times, the mainstream media has been polluting the streams of water that have been flowing out of Rome. As a result, countless Catholics read the words of Pope Francis only after his message has been garbled and misinterpreted. Thanks to Christopher West’s new book, Pope Francis to Go, we can draw deeply from the well of the great heart of Pope Francis. Christopher’s prayerful and powerful commentary on The Joy of the Gospel offers practical insights on not only how to share the good news, but more importantly, how to live it.” –Jason Evert, Author, Speaker, Cofounder of The Chastity Project“Once again, Christopher West delivers a wonderful ‘sampler’ of papal thoughts for believers to easily access and chew over even in the midst of the busyness of daily life. Whoever takes pause and even for five minutes allows themselves time to daily ponder these gems of Pope Francis will be richly rewarded. The Joy of the Gospel, concentrated so powerfully in this little book, will bring new strength and hope!”–Bill Donaghy, Curriculum Specialist, Instructor, Speaker, Theology of the Body Institute“In Pope Francis to Go, Christopher West packages Pope Francis’s teaching into small grab bags that are perfect for our sound-bite culture. It provides essential quotes for teachers, Catholic journalists like myself, and all the faithful who want to spread Francis’s message but don’t have the time to take a highlighter through The Joy of the Gospel.”–Katie Breidenbach, Reporter, NET-TV (Brooklyn, NY)About The Author...Christopher West is a proud husband and father of five. His global lecturing, best-selling books, and multiple audio and video programs have also made him the world’s most recognized teacher of Saint John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body,” a bold, biblical vision of love and sexuality that takes us to the “cor” of what it means to be human.
