Description During Books A Banner Is Unfurled (A Banner is Unfurled #1)

Ezekiel Johnson feels like he is losing his family one by one. It is the 1820s, and years earlier, Ezekiel had fled his abusive stepfather and his loving, yet browbeaten mother promising he would never return. He vowed that when he had a family they would be bound together in freedom, happiness, and love. But now this strange, new Mormon religion seems to have captured the hearts of his wife and children in spite of the rumors that surround it and its supposed prophet, Joseph Smith.

As wicked individuals and strong temptations seek to block his familys path to happiness, Ezekiel realizes that he must either allow them to join the Church and risk losing them, or tear them away from their newfound faith even if they end up hating him for it.

From authors Marcie Gallacher and Kerri Robinson comes the emotional first volume in the epic series A Banner Is Unfurled, telling the remarkable story of a real family in Church history and the choices they must face. Full of drama and passion, this book is one you will want to share with your family, friends, and loved ones.

Judge Of Books A Banner Is Unfurled (A Banner is Unfurled #1)

I was hoping this book would book would be the beginning of a series that I could love as much as I love the Work and the Glory...and I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the book was good, and I plan on reading the rest of the series, but I just can't rate it up there with Work and the Glory. One thing I do love though, is that this book is about a real family is church history, and that's interesting to me. For my friends who like LDS historical fiction, I'd say, give it a try and see how

Story about a fictional family in the mid 1800's as they learn about and are converted to the gospel. The story was mostly interesting, but the writing seemed trite and forced and a little cheesy, and I had a hard time getting through it. Couldn't bring myself to go on to the next book in the series.

I have avoided reading fictionalized accounts of early LDS history, as I didn't want to confuse fiction with history, but I read a review that said this is an excellent series and thought I'd try it. I'm glad I did--this series is based on the history of the Johnson family, from whom the authors are descended, and is meticulously researched while being a great story. If only all our family histories were as well-documented as this one! I was interested enough to read the footnotes at the back of

This has to do with some of my family history, which makes it all the more interesting and insightful. I love that the book contains notes on each chapter to clarify historical details and those details thrown in for the sake of the novel. I'm looking forward to reading Volume 2. Just to warn you, there may be some tears involved, but there are definitely a lot of laughs as well! I loved this book...but like I said, I may be partial to it.

As you know I don't get many things 5 stars, but this one is very special and close to my heart. It is about my people and not just my religious group MY ANCESTORS. I am the great-great-great-great granddaughter of Ezekiel and Julia Johnson. The story is of course fictionalized but based on facts. I am in awe. My mom and I are in a race to read them. I do not give it 5 stars because of the family connection, but the story is actually riveting and inspiring! There are many times I heard myself

This book is about my husband's ancestors so it was really wonderful to read about them and their conversions. I was so struck by the amazing faith that the early Mormon converts had and how they sacrificed everything for their faith. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next one because this one ended in a really bad spot!
