Beneath the Sky of an Angry God

By John Jenkins and Mark Weaver, Reconciliation Press

"Daniel Sweetwater is a sixteen-year-old Delaware Indian living with his preacher father among the Cherokee in 1838.  He and father are forced to march with the last remnants of the Cherokee nation on a 1000-mile journey from their homes in Georgia to a reservation in the Oklahoma Territory.

"Beneath the Sky of an Angry God is the first book in the Discovery historical fiction series that follows the lives and adventures of young people over several generations.  Like Daniel, they struggle to make their way in a growing and changing 19th-century America and to triumph amid the century-long spiritual conflicts that have shaped our nation past and present.
