Critics Review
“This book’s prose is as polished as we are likely ever to see. It displays crisp writing, finely crafted sentences, often spiced with dry wit. Haws has a fine eye for the right quotation.

I rarely use the word brilliant, but in this case no other word will do.” —Grant Wacker, author of America’s Pastor: Billy Graham and the Shaping of a Nation
