Noah Websters 1828 Dictionary
This gigantic, oversized, heavy book is perhaps second only to the Bible in terms of importance in your home. When Noah Webster first published this book, he understood that whoever defined the words of a culture would capture that culture. So he sought to give the American people a dictionary in which words have meaning in terms of their relationship to Jesus Christ. In fact, this is the only comprehensive dictionary of the English language in print that seeks to communicate a distinctively biblical worldview, even to the point of using Scriptures in the definitions.

Ten P's In A Pod by Arnold Pent III
Future historians may look back on the Arnold Pent family and describe them as the “first modern home school family.” Long before there were any state home schooling organizations or curriculum fairs, Arnold Pent declared his independence from government education and his dependence on Jesus Christ in the training of his children. No one told him to do this. He simply read the Bible and determined to follow the clear principles found within its pages and to be obedient to God — regardless of the consequences.

How To Think Like A Christian by Doug Phillips
Most Christians think like humanists — not on purpose, mind you, but because they have never been trained to “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” by trusting in Scripture as the basis of their worldview. The results are devastating. Double-minded Christians dominate our churches. They have one foot in the world and one foot in the Church. They look to the Bible when it is convenient, but assume it is silent on most issues, rather than regarding it as “sufficient for all of faith and practice.” This lecture presents an overview of what is needed to reform our minds.

Christain Modesty And The Public Undressing Of America by Jeff Pollard
The Church is being destroyed by sacred cows. A “sacred cow” is an untouchable subject that we are not supposed to discuss. To do so impinges upon another’s “Christian liberty.” Certainly, there are few sacred cows quite as sacred as the right of modern Christians to dress however they please. But in this groundbreaking work, Jeff Pollard challenges us to embrace God’s standard and to understand the historical roots of the rise of nudity and immodesty in modern culture. His perspective is thoughtful and balanced. Most importantly, he accomplishes what few authors on this subject have achieved: a treatise that avoids both license and legalism. A courageous booklet.

The Sovereignty Of God
This early book by Pink lays Scripture end to end to prove God's control over all persons and events. It is uncompromising, and as such it raises the hackles on the necks of many new students of this doctrine. Persons who knew Pink seldom objected to anything he taught, because he could literally quote hundreds of verses of Scripture verbatim on the subject under discussion. This book may be overwhelming, but it is certain that its many printings have been used of God to convince people of His sovereignty. His doctrinal belief is that that God both elects and reprobates, as Romans 9:21-23 clearly teaches. It is an important stone to guide the steps of those who are not yet convinced of God's absolute sovereignty over all persons and events.
How God Wants Us To Worship Him by
When it comes to worship, the sad truth is that most Christians have traded their New Testament heritage for the hip and trendy, dispensing with the simplicity and beauty of New Testament worship. In this well-reasoned and exegetically sound treatise, Dr. Morecraft offers a principled defense for the Bible as the only guide for worship in the meeting of the church. In a day when the Sunday worship of evangelical churches is too often dominated by performers and youth culture, it is increasingly rare to find churches that take seriously the doctrine of sola scriptura and regulative worship.

Family Man Family Leader by Phillip Lancaster
What this country needs is a few good men — husbands and fathers who are willing to love and lead their households with manly resolve and godly vision. Frankly, the Church needs these men every bit as much as the rest of the country. We are experiencing a national crisis of manhood of epidemic proportions. Absent a revival of fatherhood, we can expect to see an ever-increasing rise in the number of effeminate boys and masculine women, as well as the breakdown of the Christian family as it is defined in Holy Scripture. What we desperately need today are men who will be family men and family leaders. But how? Click here to purchase.
Defending The Fatherless by Doug Phillips

Building A Family That Will Stand
God appears to be touching the hearts of a growing number of Christian fathers with a hunger to learn more about biblical manhood. This quiet revival is taking place in homes where teary-eyed fathers are standing before their wives and children, repenting for their lack of vision and leadership, and recommitting themselves to God’s priorities for men. With this revival comes the awareness that Christian men need to make dramatic changes in their lives; changes which reflect a biblical re-examination of the way our fallen culture approaches family, work, finances, education, citizenship, etc. The goal of these conference tapes is to encourage men to see “the big picture” of biblical manhood. Topics include: the meaning of patriarchy, developing a multi-generational vision, busy fathers as family shepherds, preparing sons for marriage and life purpose, biblical discipline, family worship, and much more! With Phil Lancaster, Doug Phillips, and John Thompson. Eight compact discs in a durable binder. Approx. 7 hours playing time. Click here to purchase.- For Women -

The Role of Women In The Local Church by Doug Phillips
One of the greatest secrets for cultural transformation is the power of godly women in the local church. The Bible teaches that daughters, single women, married women, and widows each play distinct and crucial roles, not only in the life of the family, but among the community of saints in the local congregation. When these roles are embraced with vision, the family and the church are economically powerful, spiritually stronger, and in the best position to be salt and light to the world. With humor and biblical insight, Doug Phillips addresses this all-important issue and casts a vision of hope for Christian women in the twenty-first century. By Douglas W. Phillips.

The Wise Womans Guide To Blessing Her Husbands Vision by Doug Phillips
The Christian community is full of dear ladies discouraged because their husbands lack vision to lead the family with gusto. In some cases, the men are simply overwhelmed with present responsibilities. In other cases, they lack a biblical framework for household leadership. It certainly does not help when men have poor role models in their own lives, which is the case for a growing majority of husbands. Often wives cry out, “Help, my husband just doesn’t get it,” or, “I want more children, but my husband says ‘no,’” or even, “My husband is nervous about home schooling.” For more than ten years, Doug and Beall Phillips have spoken with hundreds who share these sentiments. But, too often, wives contribute to the problem through a wrong response. The great news is that the Bible anticipates this crisis of leadership in the home and provides crystal clear direction for wives. Wise women will desire to bless their husband’s vision by embracing the specific affirmative and negative biblical commands given to them for this very purpose. Those who do will become a sanctifying influence on their household, grow in spiritual maturity, and become God’s vehicle for their husband’s spiritual revival. This series is meant to encourage both wives and husbands with the principles and the practicalities for men and women growing in family vision for the Lord. Click here to purchase.

Home Making by Miller
Don’t let the title fool you. This is not just a book for women who keep home. Home-Making is an uncompromising vision statement for the domestic bliss and cultural dominion of the Christian family. The message of Home-Making is powerful: “Sisters, Brothers, Husbands, Wives — Home life is meant to be beautiful, ennobling, and victorious!” God intends for each person, from parent to child, to play a role in family life, the ultimate goal of which is the transformation of the individual, the home, and the society for the glory of God. Miller puts into writing truth that we need to hear but are usually too afraid to say. He carefully addresses each member of the family, managing to find the perfect balance between inspiration and exhortation. First, he addresses the marriage relationship: “The married life is meant to be the happiest, fullest, purest, richest life. It is God’s own ideal of completeness.” He then instructs the husband and the wife: “Every true-hearted husband should seek to be worthy of the wife he has already won. A true wife makes a man’s life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love ‘turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.’” With regard to the brother and sister relationship, never have I read as pure a description as here. Miller asks, “Why should not a brother make a confidante of his own sister rather than of any other? Why should not a sister look to her own brother for counsel, for protection, for advice, rather than to any other?” Click here to purchase.- For Girls -

Verses of Virtue
Without a vision for femininity and virtue, Christian womanhood will not survive the twenty-first century. The time has come to sing the praises of motherhood, to extol the blessings of beautiful girlhood, and to cast a vision for hearth and home. Poetry and prose are crucial components in this mission of vision communication. From the beginning, poetry and the beauty of language have always been a part of God’s revealed program for instilling perspective and purpose in the minds and hearts of women. In fact, the first words of love communicated of woman by man were poetic words of appreciation and understanding. Drawing upon the beauty of parallelism in expression, Adam declared of Eve: “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.” And so it goes throughout all the Scriptures. From the Psalms of David, to the poetry of Isaiah, to the verses of Deborah, to the songs of Solomon, and even the divinely inspired prose of John foretelling the return of the bridegroom, our Lord uses the beauty of language to motivate and to inspire. These are God’s verses of virtue, and they served as the inspiration for untold hundreds of books and poems dedicated to a Christian vision for motherhood and home which once defined the landscape of American family life. Beall Phillips seeks to revive this vision. In Verses of Virtue she draws from some of the most heart-warming and inspirational verses from Scripture, America’s illustrious past, and even antiquity to provide women with a volume brimming with encouragement.

Over the last several years, I have heard hundreds of reports from home schoolers and Christian families about the blessings these books have been in their lives.

What's A Girl To Do?
A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. The same is true of double-minded parents. Across America we have met evangelical parents who desperately want their daughters to grow to be virtuous women with a love for home.

Frankly, most Christians are unaware that the Bible offers clear guidelines for how wise parents can invest their daughters’ time for the glory of God.

The Influence of Older Children on Younger Children
Have you ever wondered why so many Christian familes are losing their children to the world? Here is one reason: By failing to win, disciple, guide, and protect the eldest children, fathers and mothers often find a multiplicity of sorrows and divisions within the home. On the other hand, wise parents who seek the help of the Lord and carefully shepherd their eldest children often enjoy blessed reinforcement and encouragement in the training of the younger children. In this practical and scriptural look at the biblical principles of children and mentorship., Dr. S.M. Davis draws from the Apostle John’s letter to Gaius to illustrate how the actions of older siblings greatly influence the paths of younger children, for good or evil.

Sargent York
There was a time when Sergeant Alvin C. York was a household name in America. After World War I, this relatively unknown Tennessee soldier was thrust into the annals of history. People wanted to know all about the shy, quiet Christian soldier who "captured the whole German army." Yet, in one short generation, this remarkable man has been forgotten, in large part because the values he stood for have been discarded by those who educate our nation's children. Sergeant York was a man with such a simple, unflappable, child-like faith that he trusted God while looking death in the eye. Children who read this book will have an opportunity to imagine what it was like to trust God in the midst of seemingly insurmountable odds. Edited by Tom Skeyhill and "Little Bear" Wheeler.

The Letters and Lessons of Teddy Roosevelt for His Sons
Imagine what it would have been like to have had Theodore Roosevelt for a father. Here is a bold adventurer, an insatiable hunter, an audacious politician, and also a daddy who loved to play with toys on the floor of the White House. Roosevelt simply adored his children, four of whom were boys, each of whom he was intent on turning into a man of action. He once commented that his own father was the greatest man he ever knew. His commitment to being the same example for his sons was evident not only in the remarkable globe-trotting adventures on which they accompanied him, but also in the copious letters that he wrote to them, many of which communicated deep truths about manhood, Christianity, and courage. Although the message affected each boy differently, Roosevelt’s words are fascinating clues into the life of a man who vigorously sought to balance leadership and fatherhood. In this, our second volume of the “Profiles in Fatherhood” series, I have collected some of the most interesting letters and lessons from T.R. to his boys as an inspiration to modern fathers to embrace with vigor their charge to raise up manly sons.

The Bible Lessons of John Quincy Adams for His Son
Historian David McCullough has described President John Quincy Adams as one of the most principled and certainly most intelligent men ever to occupy the White House. Born in 1767, Adams entered his country’s service while a mere lad as secretary to the Russian Embassy and remained through life a public servant, filling successively the posts of secretary, ambassador, United States Senator, Secretary of State, President, and finally Representative in Congress. This station he filled from 1831 until the moment of his death, while rising to address Congress on February 23, 1848. However, all of these remarkable achievements are secondary to his role as father. Though a busy man, Adams made it his priority to study the Bible and to train his son to love God’s Holy Word. His example stands out for all men as a shepherd who loved his family flock. When I first read President Adam’s Bible study lessons to his son, I was amazed at the tremendous detail and the depth of his biblical knowledge. Edited and Compiled by Doug Phillips.

Henty Series
In my own family, we have discovered that G.A. Henty’s nineteenth century historical fiction has helped me to accomplish three important goals for my children: First, it has cultivated a passion for reading (my eldest currently devours one or two of these books every week). Second, Henty has motivated my children to love history and pursue with passion the study of the providence of God in the affairs of man (we regularly discuss the Henty histories at the dinner table). Third, the constant emphasis on boys as protectors of women and children has reinforced, for the Henty readers in my family, a love for God-ordained biblical distinctions between the sexes.

When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric and Leslie Ludy
This book has provided the foundation for a whole new way of thinking about relationships among today’s younger generation. Rather than building a love story the way the world does (with a few Christian morals tacked on for good measure) this book introduces readers to a far superior way of building a love story…God’s way. After all, God is the One who invented the concept of romance in the first place! And God doesn’t need to imitate the world’s way of building a relationship…He has His very own perfect, amazing, beautiful way of writing a love story, and it is far more fulfilling and romantic than anything Hollywood could ever concoct. Leslie and I believe that the foundation for an amazing, lifelong love story begins even before you meet your future spouse, by allowing the Author of romance to script your love story and show you how to love like He loves. Rather than chasing after temporary relationships, this book challenges readers to give the “pen” to God and allow Him to script their love story in His own perfect time and way. In this book, we take readers through the “Four Secrets to an Amazing Love Story” – practical things that you can do now to prepare for a love story that will go the distance. From learning to love your spouse even before you meet them, to understanding the difference between mere abstinence and true purity; from practicing the skills of tenderness and selflessness that will make you a superhero spouse, to experiencing God’s best in your single years; from understanding renewed purity to making your parents your teammates – this book is loaded with inspiration, motivation, and practical insight for experiencing a God-written love story.

When Dreams Come True by Eric and Leslie Ludy
Whenever anyone says to us, “So tell us about your love story” we tell them to read When Dreams Come True. Our love story, in our humble opinion, was (and is) one of the most amazing in the history of the world. Not because of our own romantic ability – rather, because God Himself scripted the details. All of the struggles, doubts, hopes, fears, failures and triumphs of our relationship are captured in this book. During our single years and throughout our love story, Leslie and I both kept detailed journals, which we drew from when putting this book together. As a result, this story provides an intimate peak inside our hearts and minds during the process of building a God-written love story. It’s written like a novel, but the story is true. If you want a clear example of what a Heaven-built romance can look like, this is the book for you. If you have ever struggled with the idea of giving God full control of this area of your life, this book will offer you a refreshing vision of hope. Click here to purchase.
Emotional Purity by Heather Paulson
Much has been written for singles of late, thankfully, on physical and spiritual purity in relationships before marriage. Miss Paulsen`s work is the first book I have encountered, however, that focuses specifically on the need to protect our children from accepting an attitude of casual emotional intimacy in male/female friendships. This emotional intimacy that never requires commitment can cause delusions, can emotionally scar our young people`s lives, and can hinder the marriages these singles may later experience. Miss Paulsen points out that singles too frequently give portions of their hearts to friends of the opposite sex, when in truth those portions should be saved for their future spouses. This in no way means that male/female friendships cannot exist in purity, nor does the book advocate "hermitage" for singles until marriage arrives. Rather, Emotional Purity sensitizes readers biblically, experientially, and practically to the truth that one should above all else, "guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23). One note, Paulsen`s style is not always polished and her examples are not perfectly written, but her love for God and His Word is obvious, and that love clearly comes forth in her first book.

How to Evaluate A Suitor by Doug Phillips
There he is in his splendor. What a guy! He’s the man who hopes to walk off with your daughter ... hold on a moment. Maybe he isn’t the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe he is trouble with a capital “T.” Or maybe he is a great guy, but just not the great guy God intends for your little girl. How can you tell? In this fast-paced message, Doug Phillips explains that the greatest gift a dad will ever give away is his daughter. He examines the biblical qualifications for suitors and concludes that the Bible does not anticipate perfection, but minimal threshold requirements must be met. He examines the need for careful discrimination for determining if two are “equally yoked” and the doctrine of the “bride’s price.” Doug also points out biblical examples of wickedness by fathers toward suitors and urges dads to act decisively, but with charity, respect, and love.

Seven Bible Truths Violated by Christian Dating
For years, Dr. Davis preached a message on “Christian Dating,” but when his oldest daughter turned sixteen and he took her on her first date, he knew something was wrong. Bible-believing churches for years have warned about worldly dating because of the danger of moral impurity. 1 Thess. 4 is clear that it is possible to defraud a brother or sister, not only physically, but emotionally as well! Christian families, to be safe, must erect fences that will protect against defrauding in both areas. By Dr. S.M. Davis. Compact Disc. 73 mins. Click here to purchase.
Authentic Beauty by Leslie Ludy
For most of my young adult life, I had known Jesus Christ only as the One who had saved me from my sins. I had been looking to an earthly romance to fulfill the deepest desires of my heart. I had been searching for an earthly prince to rescue me, to carry me away to his castle, to love and cherish me forever – to fulfill my feminine desire for tender romance. Like so many modern young women, I gave myself to one shallow relationship after the next, only to end up lonely and heartbroken. I looked to human relationships to meet needs in my heart that only Jesus Christ was meant to fill. And then I encountered my true Prince, Jesus Christ. I looked deeply into His loving eyes and was stunned to realize that He was everything that my feminine heart had ever hoped for or desired. He was the heroic, gallant Knight I had been searching for. He was the one who had given up His very life to rescue me, to carry me away to His land to cherish me forever. He was the one with whom I could share the deepest, most beautiful, most intimate love story imaginable. That is where true romance is found – in Jesus Christ. My love story with Eric, though beautiful, is only a reflection of a far more spectacular love story…my romance with my Heavenly Prince. Until Jesus Christ becomes the Lover of our soul – the very center of our existence – we will always be looking in the wrong places to fulfill our feminine longing for tender romance. We will end up broken-hearted and disillusioned, time and time again. Christ alone can truly fulfill the desires of our heart. Authentic Beauty is a personal and practical book message about becoming a set-apart young woman in today’s perverse generation. It explores the boundless opportunities God has for the life of a young woman who makes Christ the first love of her heart and allows Him shape every aspect of her existence. Click here to purchase.
Gods Gift To Women by Eric Ludy
I’m not a guy that’s all hyped up for grunting and giving off foul odors, I’m a guy that is passionate about men being true men. And I’m convinced that true manhood, polished by the hand of God, is nothing short of an awe-inspiring gift to womanhood. Contrary to the vibe that a title like God’s Gift to Women gives off, this book is not merely about how men can more effectively relate to women. I believe that we as men can never hope to become a gift to women until we gain a complete vision of Christ-built manhood. We live in a generation of “burpin’ and scratchin’” male mediocrity. Most of our modern-day examples of manhood are self-serving, perverted, and depraved. We are taking this second-rate version of masculinity into our marriages, our families and our lives as men. I believe we need a new standard for masculinity – a standard that is not shaped by our culture, but by the very person of Jesus Christ. That standard is the core of this book’s message. If you were hoping for a book about relating to women, don’t worry; there is plenty of that subject covered in the upcoming pages. But for us to learn to effectively relate to women, we must first learn to effectively relate to the Creator of women – Jesus Christ. We must learn the world-altering secrets of Christ-built, warrior-poet manhood. If you are a guy interested in discovering amazing, culture-shaping masculinity – don’t miss this book! And if you are girl interested in motivating the guys in your life toward something better – don’t miss this book! Click here to purchase.
Courtship, Engagement and Marriage
How should a man court a woman? What role should parents play in the process? Is it possible to promise marriage upon certain conditions? If an engaged woman was deserted by her fiancé, how long need she wait before seeking another husband? Long before the modern “courtship” books of our day, the great reformer John Calvin wrote extensively on this foundational subject. His articulation and defense of biblical principles of patriarchy remain a powerful tool for pastors, fathers and students of Scripture. While the foreword to this book leaves much to be desired, the book itself is an invaluable compendium of Calvin’s thought on marital relations. Witte and Kingdon move gracefully from theological tracts and legal treatises to court records and correspondence, stopping to take note of revealing incidents from John Calvin’s own life — including his courtship.

The Heart of Anger by Lou Priolo
Some books are optional. Others are mandatory. This book is mandatory. We live in an evil and angry age. Often we see this spirit reflected on the countenance of our children. But most Christian parents are unaware that they may unwittingly encourage this spirit by provoking their children to anger. Children can easily habituate themselves to think, act, and be motivated with anger — especially if parents lack the biblical knowledge and wisdom to intervene and correct such problems of the heart. I love this book because it is comprehensively practical, eminently biblical, and completely psychology-free. There is nothing else like it available in print. I found myself deeply convicted.

When You Rise Up by R.C. Sproul Jr.
One of the up-and-coming heroes of the home-school movement in America is R.C. Sproul, Jr., whose practical, family-centered vision for discipleship is as fresh as it is rooted in historical, biblical Christianity. When it comes to education, R.C. doesn’t hesitate in dealing with the real issues. Who should teach our children? What should they be taught? What teaching methods should be employed? In this powerful primer on child training, R.C. cuts through the haze surrounding the educational debate by offering a biblical approach that is elegantly simple without being simplistic. Not everyone will love this book. Christians who embrace an education methodology of neutrality will either squirm with discomfort or convert. R.C. clearly and emphatically makes the case for parents as God’s chosen teachers. He writes with verve, with heart, with transparency, and with humility. He systematically goes through all of the typical objections raised against home schooling and provides meaningful and definitive answers. On the other hand, parents who, with humility before the Lord, are seeking His best for their families will be deeply touched and motivated by this simple, biblical message of covenantal home education.

Give Me Your Heart My Son by Doug Phillips
The father and son relationship is one of the defining relationships in the universe. In fact, before there was a universe, there was the eternal Father who loved the eternal Son. We should not be surprised, therefore, that Satan has reserved his most fiery darts to alienate Christian fathers from their sons. The best way to destroy a nation or to render the Church ineffective is to destroy the legacy of multi-generational faithfulness which God intends for covenant-keeping men and their progeny.

How To Keep Children From Becoming Bitter
The first mention of bitterness in the Bible was in a son: Esau, the child of Isaac and Rebekah. When he felt he had been done wrong, Esau cried out with a “bitter cry.” Esau wound up rejecting the grace of God and becoming a profane fornicator. It is like God was saying to all parents: Protect your children from becoming bitter. By Dr. S.M. Davis. Compact Disc. 56 mins. Click here to purchase.
Why Satan Wants Your First Born And What To Do About It

How To Avoid The Destructiveness Of A Wrong Self Image

What The Bible Says About Scorn And Mockery
Mockery, like anger, is a powerful emotional force. In the Bible, it was almost always used by a proud person who was trying to stop or hinder the work of God or the truth of God. Mockery of truth was an attempt to get people to lay aside their minds and follow their emotions. Jesus faced much mockery while here on earth. It is questionable whether Christians should ever use mockery. Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man that ... sitteth not in the seat of the scornful.” By Dr. S.M. Davis. Compact Disc. 63 mins.

How To Pass On Convictions To Your Children
When the Lord “appeared to Solomon in a dream by night” and said, “Ask what I shall give thee,” Solomon wisely asked for an understanding heart. Knowledge is learning what God wants us to do. Wisdom is learning how to do it. Understanding is learning why to do it. When children ask the question, “Why?” it is not enough for parents to answer, “Because I said so.” A key to passing beliefs, standards, and convictions onto the next generation is by giving them “understanding.” By Dr. S.M.

At an alarming rate, the children of Christian parents are falling prey to the wiles of Satan. In a culture of relativism, we must continually test our values by the absolute standard of Scripture.

American History to 1865
Like A Christian Survey of World History, Dr. R.J. Rushdoony's American History to 1865 was one of the most influential American history series I had the pleasure of studying during my high school years.

Many of the leading Christian thinkers and writers of our present day were weaned on these outstanding tapes.

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.Click here to purchase.
The Life and Campaigns of Stonewall Jackson
Stonewall Jackson — his very name evokes the image of the solid, immovable Confederate general whose sobriquet, earned at the Battle of 1st Manassas, no longer requires quotation marks. But no one has labeled Thomas Jonathan Jackson a “marble man,” as impenetrable as the statues which commemorate his valor. His pious Christian character, service to the church, unwavering commitment to duty, affectionate role as husband and father, as well as his magnificent service to Virginia were carefully recorded by his close friend Robert Lewis Dabney. Labeled by some a religious fanatic, General Jackson was simply a consistent biblical Christian who lived out his faith every day, seriously and without compromise. The battle accounts in The Life and Campaigns of Stonewall Jackson resonate with the first-hand knowledge of a man who has seen the face of battle, as Major Dabney often did as General Jackson’s adjutant in the Valley Campaign. His account of military life in the field with General Jackson provides poignant insight into the character of the General as they discuss theology and military history, pray together, and gallop to the sound of the guns. Jackson’s theology was supremely orthodox, being rooted in the biblical tradition of Knox, Calvin, and Edwards. In a day bereft of true heroes, Stonewall’s gallant deeds and virtuous conduct still move our hearts with admiration. He shows us how a Christian soldier should live and die. By Robert Lewis Dabney.
