In 1880 Karlskrona, Sweden, believing he follows Scripture, Anders
Modig takes a moral stand by giving newcomer Johan, ostracized by the Stockholm
Lutheran Church, a place to stay. Hiding
his disappointment local Bishop Peterson congenially questions Anders re
Johan. Not long afterward, the Bishop
ostracizes Anders for not tossing his guest out of the carriage house.
Although the Bishop is silent on Anders’ family, the townsfolk
behave as if his pregnant wife Brianna and their two small children are pariahs
too. Treated by family and friends as
undesirables, the Modig family leaves Sweden for the United States where they
hope to find religious freedom to practice their beliefs as stated in the
American Constitution. In the States,
along with others, the Modig family forms a church that tends to the less
fortunate.
Gathered Waters is a fabulous Christian historical based on Cara
Luecht’s ancestors fleeing their Swedish homeland for religious freedom. Readers will respect and admire the
frightened yet courageous lead couple who dive into uncertainty believing that
the Lord will takes the plunge with them.
