Land of the Brave and the Free
Book 7 of the The Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister series
317 pages · First published 1993
Against the broad backdrop of American expansion and national ideals, members of a family confront the gap between the promise of freedom and the realities they encounter. Personal loyalties are tested by political and social conflicts that reach into ordinary homes. Christian faith provides a framework for examining what liberty demands from individuals rather than treating freedom as a slogan. Michael R. Phillips’s historical saga combines family drama with a sweeping view of America, asking what it means to inherit a land described as brave and free when courage and justice still require costly choices.
