It was 1757, and war was threatening the peaceful, Amish settlement where Jacob Hochstetler and his family lived. The feuding British and French colonies both wanted to claim the beautiful, untamed land of Pennsylvania. Caught in the middle were peace-loving Amish settlers and Native American Indian tribes.
Those Living on the frontier’s edge were especially in danger. Little did Jacob Hochstetler and his family realize that their quiet life was about to be shattered!
Would Jacob’s family be able to stand the test and not fight back in self-defense? What would Jesus, the Prince of Peace, do? What had He taught His followers in the New Testament? How had they responded to injustice throughout history?

Or would they choose to obey Christ’s commands and live by His perfect example, even if it meant giving their lives for His sake? Could their faith n God sustain them?
