Nathan Bedford Forrest's Redemption"If all you know about Nathan Bedford Forrest is that he was 'first with the most, ' you don't know the real Forrest; you need to read this book." "This description of redemption shows that even the worst of sinners can be changed into trophies of God's grace." "A must-read for those seeking redemption or for those who have found it. This book will take you on a journey that only the grace of God can give." Famously referred to as "that Devil" by Union general William T. Sherman, Nathan Bedford Forrest is remembered by history as a fearsome yet skilled Confederate leader whose reputation has been marred by accusations of cold-blooded murder and racism. However, many may be surprised to know that the former slave trader and early member of the Ku Klux Klan eventually dedicated his life to God and became a staunch advocate for African Americans. This spiritual biography follows Forrest from his childhood through his conversion to Christianity in 1875, revealing a humble side of the enigmatic historical figure. Focusing on the roles various individuals played in bringing the former general to Christ, details on Forrest's final years document his radical transformation from a ruthless warrior to a pious Christian. |
