The reader is in for a treat with this splendidly well-written account of the battles, marches, and hardships of the First and Second Brigades, Mo. CSA, by a cavalryman who witnessed the events first-hand. The story recounts the thrilling adventures of Captain Grimes and his fellows who carried the mail by "the underground route" between the battlefields and the home front.

This little book, upon a subject that is very dear to me, has been carefully revised, and is sent forth in the hope that it may give comfort and edification to many; that the weak may be strengthened, the sorrowing consoled, and the despondent encouraged to look with increased faith to that fairest of fair cities in the " Better Land," which is the home of the Redeemer and the redeemed. Many books have been published in this country in my name, but none of them with authority, and the only motive inspiring this small volume is that souls may be helped. D. L. MOODY.

Rev. Billy Graham was introduced to evangelism as a boy attending one of Billy Sunday's revival services. Sunday, one of the first "rock star" preachers of the modern era profoundly influenced both Graham's message and delivery. Generations of preachers adopted his fiery style and straight-talking theology. His physicality and showmanship was rivaled only by the strength of his message. Sunday was one of the most influential advocates of prohibition, delivering explosive sermons against "Mr. Booze." He also promoted women's suffrage, child labor laws and avoided criticism of Roman Catholics. As a forerunner of modern evangelicals, controversies did not quell Sunday's immense popularity. His exhortation to hundreds of thousands to "walk the sawdust trail" to conversion was unrivaled in the days before mass media. This authorized biography examines Sunday's life and preaching through a number of prisms, providing rare and fascinating insight into one of the great evangelists in American history.

Walter Ratliff delivers a nonpartisan analysis of how the Sept. 11th attacks revolutionized evangelical attitudes toward Muslims and Islam. The book gives readers a rare inside look at top evangelical schools, denominations and media outlets that shape the movement's attitudes. Many evangelicals now see Islam as a second front in the culture wars. Yet, some are building bridges with Muslims over the new fault lines that emerged after the 2001 attacks. Highlights include a comprehensive analysis of Muslims and Islam in the evangelical press from 1998 to 2003, the perspective of Muslim-Americans since the attacks, and a rare view at the internal debates among top evangelical leaders.
