Sound the Trumpet

De: Gilbert Morris

Narrado por: Robert Whitfield

Daniel Bradford, a poor young Brit, is separated in a cruel twist of fate from his sister, Lyna, and left to rot in the infamous Dartmoor Prison. His only hope for escape comes when he agrees to a seven-year indenture in America. But he discovers he had traded one imprisonment for another under a cruel and exacting master, Sir Leo Rochester.

But eventually, Daniel marries a young woman, Holly Blanchard, and they settle near Mount Vernon, Virginia. Daniel meets George Washington and experiences firsthand the taste of freedom sweeping the land. Then tragedy strikes and Daniel moves his family to Boston, where he prospers and meets Sam Adams, the flaming patriot for independence. Bound by his loyalty to England, he struggles as he sees two of his sons caught up with the Sons of Liberty.

As the storm clouds of revolution begin to gather, family and friends must take sides as the Colonies are inexorably swept into battle at Lexington and Concord. Daniel, too, must decide his loyalties, not only politically, but deeply personal as well.

Great story

Enjoyed the story
The narrator did a great job with each character
I love history and found out a few more facts about the American revolution
The story was kept my interest and I enjoyed it

Historical and Interesting

Wonderful novel for children and adults. Gave insight as to how hard life was at the beginning of America, and the struggles they faced. This had a wonderful Christian base, yet was not preachy; it interwove values and commitment.

Great story, excellent read!

This is a great story definitely worth taking the time to read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the narration is also very good. It’s also a very timely story to reflect upon history. I would also like to note that the author is a wonderful person. I have read many of his books. They kept me comfortable when I was recovering from a long sickness in the early 2000s. This author even took the time to correspond with me once over the phone when I was at Healthsouth rehab Center, in Colorado Springs for a very long extended stay. He lives in the same manner of spirit that he writes.

Sound the Trumpet

A historical novel that talks includes some famous historical figures with Christian values. A really good book.

It could make a movie

Loved the book and will continue the series. I'm a high fan of the Revolutionary War books and documentaries on the colonies becoming a great country.

A Treat!

Loved it! Loved it!! Loved it!!!
This was my first gilbert morris and I enjoyed every bit of this story. Engaging plot, characters, action!!! This is one of the best stories I have read/listened to in over 4 decades!
The narrator was superb. Varying the voices with an uncommon agility.
Absolutely a must read/listen for anyone interested in serious fiction.

Good story

A positive inspirational story.

The performance was adequate. He used different accents For different characters, but some of them didn’t always fit. For example you’re not going to have a slave with a Scottish accent! Lol

God Bless America

Lover listening to the Wonderful True History of the United States of America. Woven is a dramatic revolutionary story.
