Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing book, that will tell you everything you need to know about the revivals in the ANV during the war. It talks about the noble, Christian leaders of the Confederacy, and the men that made up its best soldiers. The stories of men who stayed true to God will challenge your whole-hardheartedness as a Christian. This book portrays the Christian nature of the Confederate soldier, and how it gave him the courage to fight so long and so hard against impossible odds. This book is full of touching stories of men who found Christ in the camp. And what's more, every story was told by an eyewitness or was written during the war period. This will open your eyes to a part of the War Between the States you rarely hear about, but it is the most important thing to the war. A soldier in the 6th VA Cavalry said that the Chaplains were the number one force to instill courage and fortitude in the men. And that would be true for many men. You can't read about the war, without reading about Christians. This book will give you a glimpse into the life of Confederates throughout the war, and it will challenge you greatly. I found it to be amazing, and I loved it. If you are a history buff or Civil War buff, don't wait. Read it now! Its worth it.
