Publisher's Synopsis
Within this action-packed tale of battles, bravery, and the mercies of a gracious God, pastor J. William Jones presents the remarkable true story of the glorious revivals that swept the Confederate camps during the War Between the States. In the midst of one of the darkest hours of American history, the marvelous Light of God's glory shone brilliantly forth as the Lord drew a people to Himself through the preaching of His wondrous Gospel.
A first-hand witness of the great revival of 1861-1865, Jones captures in vivid and inspiring detail the stirring picture of God's work among the soldiers of the Confederate army in a day when "the dark clouds of war were brightened with the sunshine of the Redeemer's smile." From Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson to the lowliest private in the ranks, the fires of revival swept the armies of the Confederacy from the Manassas battlefield to the courthouse at Appomattox.
With Christ in the Camp offers the contemporary reader an abridged, easily-accessible version of Jones' classic work.
