The former Confederate states have continually mythologized the South’s defeat to the North; depicting the Civil War as unnecessary; or as a fight over states’ Constitutional rights; or as a David v. Goliath struggle in which the North waged “total war†over an underdog South. In The Myth of the Lost Cause; historian Edward Bonekemper deconstructs this multi-faceted myth; revealing the truth about the war that nearly tore the nation apart 150 years ago.

Life ChangingBy D. HodsonMs. Trotter's parallels between nature and our Christian journey are so perfect that it left me with a deeper understanding of not only the things that I was experiencing but also how I should best respond to them.She gives a call to uncompromising faith and a poignant reminder of our call to the cross with depth that is not often expressed by modern authors.It can easily be read in one sitting; however it is most beneficial to slowly process her insightful writings. They are powerful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy P. D.Wonderful book! Highly recommend
