In the explosive times of the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars, three womena French countess, an English convict, and an Irish Quakerplay out their loves, lost and found, in the tiny colony of Sydney in faraway Australia.

Jenny and Isobel, two women leading completely different lives, succumb to their circumstances as laws, arranged marriages, and harsh economies dictate their lives. Jenny must come to terms with an unfair and harsh punishment as a judge sentences her to death. Isobel must maneuver her way through her own strength and the men who desire political power. Together, as free settlers west of Sydney, they suffer French plots, Irish uprisings, attacks by deranged convicts, and extortion from the NSW Corps, led by ex-Captain John Macarthur.

Will they find the peace they seek at last, inspired by Governor Blighs stubborn resistance to imprisonment and contempt during two years of republican chaos?

About the Author

Amy McGrath has also authored seven books of poetry, four of which are on electoral politics; two epic novels; and four books on gluten-free eating.

All the conflicts and clashes of character players, in her story, and how they survived their hardships stranded 4,000 miles from the nearest western colony, are drawn from existing records.

Dr. McGrath married the research skills earned in three degrees in history to the dramatic skills acquired in writing several plays and musicals, 9 books of poetry and 2 previous epic novels - Kublai Khan and Opium Lords. Of the latter the Canberra Times wrote - 'she is a born storyteller.'

Rosaria is an intelligent human being.
Format: Hardcover
Rosaria writes as such. She walks through lies we are told by our culture here in America and beyond. How to look at sin rightly and touches on her own experiences throughout the book. She is raw and open. However, I do think some of her definitions are not really what we use for some of it. Got me a little confused. I used it to walk my bible study through these lies. There are a lot of questions, but you get out what you put in, so I think it was well worth the time and energy it took to read, reflect and respond to the text. It has biblical backing, and I was thankful for her honesty where she has made public statements before, and has since learned more and no longer thinks that way. It has to be hard, and has been hard. To live her experiences. Such a huge cost to following Jesus. May her ministry and book sales be blessed, as this book should be in church libraries around the world. To know how to gently and lovingly interact with those who are living differently than we.

Most Important book for Christians
The sincere convert accepts a complete Christ. He loves not only the reward, but the labor. He seeks not only the benefits, but the burden of Christ. He takes up the commands, yes even the cross of Christ. In contrast, the unsound and perhaps unsaved person takes Christ by halves. He is all for the salvation but not the sanctification. He is all for the privileges, but neglects the person of Christ..They desire salvation from suffering, but do not desire to be saved from sinning. Christianity is not about us being perfect but our faith in the One that is perfect. From Rosaria's perspective of being a feminist, liberal Professor, and living as a lesbian, she gave up everything for Christ. She believed the lies and found the truth that set her free. She has found meaning of the pain of what she gave up within the promises of God's word. She also understands how the lies will destroy families, communities and the only hope we have is the truth. I struggle with the difference of acceptance and approval. I believed that they were the same. They are not the same. I believed the lie and struggled because of it. Acceptance involves listening, caring for, and praying and sharing the truth of God's word. Acceptance helps you in the landmines of lies. You know the difference of the lies and the truth. Acceptance means living in the reality and not fantasy. Rosaria in great detail explains how we can love thru acceptance. Approval is not kindness and pulls us away from the reality and truth. The five lies are as follows: Homosexuality is normal Being a spiritual person is kinder than being biblical Christian Feminism is good for the world and the church Transgenderism is normal Modesty is outdated burden that serves male dominance and holds women back. These lies are the root of what keeps people from God. It is the truth that Rosaria brings forth thru her own experience, study, family, and church that is a shining light of hope. Lies do not bring hope and we need the hope of the truth that Christ testified. It is not about our feelings but the truth. We need the truth of the gospel. The gospel is not a get out of jail card but a realization that there is more. A life that is abundant in worship and awe of the God that saves. Praying that others will be blessed by this book. A special thank you to Crossway Publishing and netgalley for the aRC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

Great help for escaping the snare of the devil (2 Tim. 2:24-26)
Format: Kindle
The five lies this book was written to expose and equip believers in Christ to dismantle were well selected. The list represents the myriad falsehoods unleashed in our present age by the liar and father of lies, the devil (Jn. 8:44). And, that our present age is anti-Christian is evident to anyone using the Bible as the rule for Christian faith and practice. In fact, the seemingly universal celebration of all who reject the created order of the two sexes—whichever way they choose—practically confirms the truth of Scripture. The false community it forms has no other unifying factor than shared rebellion against biblical authority. Like Carl Trueman, in his book The Strange New World, the author succeeds in calling for a compassionate but firm response to deceptions about human personhood. In her case, deceptions she once held dear, and by which she was once held captive. A difference is that, while Trueman’s approach is more historical and philosophical, Butterfield’s is more personal, pastoral, and Bible oriented. The testimony of her own conversion is compelling. Like the apostle Paul who became a planter of churches after having persecuted the Church, she balances her warnings against the lies with biblical exhortations of how to live-out the truth. In her chapters on modesty, she demonstrates how the internet in general, and social media in particular, have been abused to blur the distinction between what is public and what should be kept private. Her observations about narcissism, non-accountability, and exhibitionism, are worth noting. The only reason I give this book four stars instead of five is that the appendix seemed superfluous. In my opinion, the oft-quoted statement attributed to Mies Van Der Rohe (1886), “Less is More,” applies. While I believe the guidance on how to read the Bible is generally good, it seemed to promote the author’s loyalty to her denomination rather than adding anything germane to the book. It also seemed more appropriate for a pastor to teach his congregation than for a pastor’s wife to teach the Church at large. For me, it detracted from the very modesty of role that the book otherwise encouraged so well. That said, I recommend the book as a whole. The Scripture it brought to mind is Ephesians 4:14-16. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. (NASB 95).
