I have not read “The Light and the Glory” but based on your description I will seek out a copy and read it.

This is totally off the subject of saving America (or maybe not) but if you enjoy reading books about the history of Christianity and Christians in the United States, I highly recommend “The Man Who Moved A Mountain” by Richard C. Davids.

It is the life story of Rev. Bob Childress, who was born and grew up in the hills of Virginia (Buffalo Mountain in Floyd County). It is a fascinating and VERY inspirational story of an amazing man of faith who overcame great obstacles to ‘save’ himself, and who set as his mission convincing the mountain people of southwest Virginia to change their moonshining and feuding ways.

I first read the book when I was in college in the 1980s, and I reread it every few years or whenever I need to be reminded what one person can achieve through God, hard work and unshakable determination.

Thank you. I’ll see if amazon has it. “The Light and the Glory” will probably have to be ordered in book form. I ordered one for each of my grandson in laws, who are both in Seminary.
