Heirs of Freedom

Life is comfortable for Shelby Kichline who's about to take her dream job when she receives an unexpected call to serve in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) in Korea. She realizes this is her time after enjoying the blessings of generations of family members who've assisted in every American war.

At Princeton Seminary, Jacob Kichline longs to serve God with his whole life. But the tide of Modernism undermines his trust in Scripture, shattering his calling—and his hopes with Pearl Smith. Struggling to recover a lost sense of purpose, he accepts a temporary post in Korea to assist missionaries with translation work, unaware that the journey will test far more than his scholarship.

In Pyongyang, Soon-hee Oh clings to faith amid turmoil at home and unrest across his land.

His parents’ favoritism toward an ailing brother and his deceptive schemes, as well as the tightening grip of the Japanese occupation threaten Soon-hee’s health and his relationship with the woman he loves.

Circumstances draw Jacob and Soon-hee together, and each must face the truth about pride, surrender, and what it means to follow a living God on shifting ground.

When the enemy comes in like a flood, God rises with power no one can ignore—and lives are forever changed.

A powerful sequel to East of the Sun, this tale of conviction, heartbreak, and divine sovereignty calls readers to trust God’s mighty hand in our own turbulent days.
