Rumburg, H. Rondel
This book weaves the life of Jackson around his favorite text of Scripture which was Romans 8: 28. The greatness of Jackson as a military general cannot be understood apart from an understanding of his great faith in Christ. Why was he such a bigger-than-life kind of man? He faced the death of many loved ones, but how did he escape bitterness? What was the reason for his victorious death? This volume seeks to answer these and many more questions. Dr. M. E. Bradford contributed the Afterword, writing with his usual pungent style.
