What A Friend We Have In Jesus
(2026)(A book in the Hymns to Stir the Heartstrings Collection series)
A novel by Sandi Rebert
A House Divided
Against the tumultuous backdrop of the Civil War, two brothers find themselves on opposing sides of a bitter conflict that threatens to tear their family apart. Seth Clemens, a staunch Virginian like his father Jed, takes up arms for the Confederate cause, while Josh, driven by a deep-seated hatred of slavery and a love for Christ, joins the Union Army. His choice alienates him further from Jed, who still grapples with bitterness over a tragic accident years before that left him partially crippled.
Bridging the widening chasm are Jed’s compassionate wife, Nora, and spirited daughter, Annie. Despite their fervent prayers and unwavering efforts, the stark divisions within the family test the very fabric of their lives.
Charity Emerson, their neighbor and Josh's childhood sweetheart, has always dreamed of a life with him. But when Josh’s Union brigade descends upon their house, suspecting the family of harboring Confederate soldiers, her world is turned upside down. As tensions rise and danger looms, the commanding officer issues Josh a heart-wrenching order that shatters any expectations of his future with Charity.
In a world fractured by war, can love rise above the ashes?
