It tells how the Amish faced persecution by Patriots and British. The Patriots and British are taking goods from this small settlement for the sake of war. Some of the young Amish men are leaving their faith to fight and defend for freedom.

Arms of Love also tells the hardships and dangers that the peace loving Amish faced in order to survive in this primitive New World.
