Representaion In Favor Of Books Christ in the Camp
In the midst of the titanic struggle of the American War Between the States, a spiritual war for the souls of men was waged with equal vigor.From 1861 to 1865, many thousands of soldiers professed Christ as their Savior and Lord, and many more were renewed in their commitment to serve God in camp and battlefield.
Herein are recorded stories of the heroism of chaplains who stood in the line of battle to minister to the fallen and to work at the bedside of fatally ill comrades. Some of the army pastors were themselves counted among the slain. It tells of worship services in camps attended by ten, a hundred, or a thousand men gathered to hear the Word of God expounded. Here, too, we read of the Christian generals who supported the many facets of Gospel work: Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jeb Stuart, and others. Hardback. 624 pgs. By J. William Jones.

Being a Westerner, who moved to the South for school, reading this book completely blew my mind about what really happened in the War Between the States, (aka The 'Civil' War) What has been force fed to untold generations by 'official' media, is NOTHING to what really was occurring, and why. This book is amazing in what it tells you about the people involved in the war and their amazing Testimonies for Christ.

The only wars a christian should endorse are wars of self defence. Wars of aggression and dominion to spread democracy or build and empire are wrong. The Southern people fought a war of self defence to protect their families from an invader. though they lost the war spiritual battles were won. Read about these battles won. Our forefathers were avid christians seeking to convert the lost.
This was a very interesting book! It more of less details the revivals that went on in the Southern Army during the final year of the Civil War as told by those who witnessed it whether through letters or other means. The language is not what we're used to because it may be a bit too formal for today's readers but it's something that I liked and for me made the book all the more appealing. For Christians I believe that this would be worth reading.
This book tells about the revival of 1864-65 in the Confederate army. It is mostly all letters and journal entries. The author was a pastor who was a personal friend of Lee, Jackson, Gordon, and others. It was fascinating! The dedication to God, and the faith in His sovereignty, even in discouragement, suffering and defeat of some of these brave men was a rebuke to me. I am not finished yet - about halfway through - but it is so sad, I had to take a break for awhile.
Excellent history, well written original sources. People who want to equate the confederacy to Nazi Germany really need to read this, but they won't.
