Reviews

"Highly recommended for its scholarship, but also for its emphasis on character and the impact of spiritual revival in history."
--Moody magazine

"It is sad, and sometimes infuriating, how glibly we tend to treat the Civil War, as if the Christian aspect of the slavery question were of merely passing consequence. . . . A wonderful depiction of the heady days before the great war."
--William F. Buckley Jr., National Review
