Schools no longer teach America's early history in any meaningful way - particularly its Christian faith, character, or heart for godly justice and liberty. America languishes as its true story languishes. What we need is a series of inspiring historical novels to restore that history to a new generation of American youth and young adults (of all ages) in an enjoyable, entertaining, and dramatic way - and here it is!We are pleased to announce new editions of Peter Reese Doyle's popular Drums of War series of books - with new titles coming. Drums of War interweaves the compelling factual story of America's War for Independence with the exciting fictional tale of brave young men and women from two patriotic families. Their participation in the unfolding of history teaches them about honor and liberty, while young love blossoms in the background.Honed by his recent experiences at Bunker Hill and Great Bridge, Drums of War hero Andrew Hendricks returns in the fourth installment of Peter Doyle's young-adult series. Home again, Andrew soon uncovers an insidious Tory plot in his hometown of Williamsburg, Virginia. This time duty calls the young patriot to sail for South Carolina to deliver another important message. By sea and by land, the English are planning to take the capital city of Charleston, one of the most important ports in America, as a base for a surprise, full-scale invasion of the South. The clock ticks for Andrew and his woodsman mentor Matthew Anderson to warn Governor Rutledge and his forces before Admiral Peter Parker and General Henry Clinton of the English military overwhelm the Patriots' small, incomplete fort on Sullivan's Island in Charleston Harbor. Witness Peter Doyle's masterful storytelling as he once more recounts the culture, geography, historic figures, and warfare in defense of Colonial America's liberty.

A young girl finds a lost baby crow and brings him home to recover and grow stronger. She names him Charles after the sounds that he makes when they are together. Throughout the beautiful summer days they share breakfasts of cooked cereal or eggs every morning before heading out to see the world outside. And they especially enjoy when it is time to pick the fresh, sweet strawberries from the garden - with a few sweet bites to share before heading home again. And then one day Charles starts to take flight to the tree at the edge of the property. The girl and her family know that it will only be a matter of time before Charles goes back to his true home amongst the trees and birds in the forest. But memories of their summer friendship - and especially of those sweet delicious strawberries - will remain.

On June 17, 2015, at 9:05 p.m., a young man with a handgun opened fire on a prayer meeting at the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine members of the congregation. The captured shooter, twenty-one-year-old Dylan Roof, a white supremacist, was charged with their murders. Two days after the shooting, while Roof’s court hearing was held on video conference, the families of his nine victims, one by one, appeared on the screen—forgiving the killer. The “Emanuel Nine” set a profound example for their families, their city, their nation, and indeed the world. We Are Charleston not only recounts the events of that terrible day but also offers a history lesson that reveals a deeper look at the suffering, triumph, and even the ongoing rage of the people who formed Mother Emanuel A.M.E. church and the wider denominational movement. In many ways, this church’s story is America’s story—the oldest A.M.E. church in the Deep South fighting for freedom and civil rights but also fighting for grace and understanding. Fighting to transcend bigotry, fraud, hatred, racism, poverty, and misery. The shootings in June 2015, opened up a deep wound of racism that still permeates Southern institutions and remains part of American society. We Are Charleston tells the story of a people, continually beaten down, who seem to continually triumph over the worst of adversity. Exploring the storied history of the A.M.E. Church may be a way of explaining the price and power of forgiveness, a way of revealing God’s mercy in the midst of tremendous pain. We Are Charleston may help us discover what can be right in a world that so often has gone wrong.
