We Confess! The Civil War, the South, and the Church [NOOK Book]

A Book That You Don't Want to Pass Up Reading

How could a church culture that lifted high the name of Jesus make covenant with the Confederacy? How did the Southern Baptist Convention lead the way? How do divided hearts and unholy covenants still hinder awakening in the conservative US church? What dramatic changes will a spirit of grace and supplication bring? We Confess! The Civil War, the South, and the Church uncovers the answers, historically, biblically, Spirit-to-spirit. I never read such an in depth look at religion, politics, church and God as I have read in this book. I mean this had to have taken years of research to put such an awesome book together as this one. I admire Deborah and the strength and persistence to write such a book. It took me a little while to get into it but once I did,I could not put it down. In some ways I felt ashamed as I read some areas of this book, ashamed to be part of a church (and as I write this I know that may sound idiotic) for many different reasons. I am not saying I am not a proud Christian because I am. You will just have to read this book to understand why I make that statement. This is just a must read book no matter your religion, race, or political views. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, Christians and non-Christians alike. This is just a must read book. I want to thank Deborah for giving me the opportunity to read and review her book, and also for putting up with all of my hurtles I had to conquer to get it done, God bless you Deborah, and keep your wonderful writing coming.

Deborah pens "We Confess" in a well written, complex and in depth plot. It wasn't an easy read for me as this is written in a time where it was very dark in our United States history and with God thrown in, but once I got over my "fears", I was totally engrossed in the book. A must read for all Christians and for all who love the US and the south.

We Confess! is a must read!

This book combines impeccable researrch with the depth of insight that only the Holy Spirit can provide. Deborah Brunt walks the reader through the past of the Southern Church in order to illuminate the continuing cultural and spiritual battles going on today in the Church of the South and the ordinary people who make up that church. This book is before its time as Brunt courageously speaks out against injustices that many people still believe are taboo to discuss, much less confront. This book is a must read. It will definirely stir your heart! It is a call from Gods heart to his people for action!
