When The King Was Carpenter

Book excerpt: Out of a life well-lived, the story of one family's adventures from the majestic beauty of Austria across the Atlantic to American freedom. Immortalized on film in "The Sound of Music," Maria here allows the reader to really know who she was. The flight from danger to a new life in a new land helped anchor Maria's staunch faith in God. This book presents years of research into the life of Christ. Weaving her own experiences with a rich understanding of the God who broke through time and space to save us, Maria von Trapp helps us see that our Savior never changes.
