The book represents an enormous amount of research, both historical context in which the people lived and the family tree, going back ten generations to 8th generation Grandfather. The very interesting part of the book, which I feel is one of its strong points, is the dual weaving of family history with the historical progress of Christianity as it affected the family and the creation of the American dream, the nation. Through the generations, many family members accepted Christ and were empowered to overcome the challenges of life, both good and bad, while others were embittered against Christ, rejected the faith and experienced the sad ending of the lost.

In Life A Book with Many Chapters, family history, relevant history of the time and Spiritual truth are woven together to make a story I wanted to keep on reading!
Richard’s testimony, first shared on p.11,12 is a treasure! I’m sure it would bless him to know that all these years later it is still an encouragement. The relevant history gives a bit of understanding of what they faced. It is meaningful how in the chapters that follow, numerous situations are shared where people grapple with the most important decision any of us will ever make- to turn to Jesus or to trust in themselves. I enjoyed reading the various family stories, written in such a way to give the reader a glimpse into their lives. Each chapter is almost like picking up a journal of the individual as they share a bit of their life. I appreciate how you make the importance of salvation very clear as you wrap up the book.
One question. Have you had a proofreader check for spelling/punctuation? Just a few spots scattered throughout the chapters.

Thank you for the opportunity to read your book!
