An exhilarating conversion story of a devout Baptist who relates how he overcame his hostility to the Catholic Church by a combination of serious Bible study and vast research of the writings of the early Church Fathers. In addition to a moving account of their conversion that caused Ray and his wife to "cross the Tiber" to Rome; he offers an in-depth treatment of Baptism and the Eucharist in Scripture and the ancient Church. Thoroughly documented with hundreds of footnotes; this contains perhaps the most complete compilation of biblical and patristic quotations and commentary available on Baptism and the Eucharist; as well as a detailed analysis of Sola Scriptura and Tradition.

They were taped in locations from Texas Louisiana; Kentucky; Virginia; etc. ---- all over the South. The people were in their 90's and above; and these are their actual memories. It is like looking into a history capsule. Fascinating! Some owners were good; some were very bad; but a well rounded group of interviews.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. "Twelve Years a Slave" confirmedBy GopalAn interesting read of interviews with ex-slaves done around 1930. It is not as illuminating at "12 Years a Slave" or "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" but has its place. I was surprised that most of the interviewees remembered their days as a slave with fondness. My theory is the slaves who suffered the abuse had already died; that bad memories tend to fade; and a hesitance to speak ill of the white man. The punch of some accounts is missing but "We Lived in a Cabin" is thought provoking in its own way. Recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What was it like; the truthBy Peggy F.This book has selections from the slave interviews; as written down by an interviewer. These are heartbreaking stories; but I'm glad to know the truth of it. I think its important to understand that it was not as portrayed in Gone With the Wind.
