Marilyn Boyer is a descendant of a Revolutionary War soldier and daughter of a World War II veteran. She is deeply patriotic and passionate about our Christian history. As the wife of an Air Force veteran, mother and home educator of fourteen children, and grandmother of thirty-two, Marilyn’s dedication to family and country is unparalleled. She’s an author of several books on which we have interviewed her previously. She is with us today discussing Profiles of Valor a 4-book set providing character studies from the War of Independence.
This July 4th marks our nation’s 250th birthday and with it our Constitution, our freedoms, liberties and system of government, all of which mark us as a nation like no other.
We often take for granted what we’ve been gifted by God through those who’ve come before us. We must never forget such heroes and their Christian faith as they built this nation while exhibiting character qualities such as humility, justice, courage, great determination, fortitude and valor. Therefore it’s vital that we pass their stories on to succeeding generations.
This is where Marilyn comes in. She appeared on Crosstalk to share brief details regarding key early Americans and the character traits they had that made a huge impact on the forging of this nation. From volume one you’ll hear about George Washington, when he was a Colonel. Marilyn detailed the humility he showed and the fact that he believed he was an instrument in God’s hands as he was shielded from death from many bullets fired by the Algonquin Indians.
Samuel Adams represented the quality of passion. While known as the firebrand of the revolution, he wasn’t fond of violent resistance as long as there was a chance at a peaceful solution. What he did have was the ability to deliver fiery rhetoric. He believed that God was the author of liberty. His passion was to be used as an instrument by God and that’s what happened as God used him to encourage others during the dark days of the revolution.
