I have received my copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement and have begun with great interest to read.—Lynn Hieronymous, Lincoln Christian College.
It is the first 700-page book I have read in six days. This is one book that will be required reading for all my children.—Bob Lewis, Montgomery, AL. (of “Conservative” Church of Christ)
Thank you for your book and the kind words about the “non-class” people. I hope and pray we can live up to them.—Terry Bouchelle, Lewisville, Tx.
It certainly deserves a place next to Garrison-DeGroot in every Campbellite library.—Comer Shacklett, Westfield, N.J. (Disciple of Christ)
I must tell you how delighted and inspired I was by your work. The book is destined to become a classic in the field of Restoration history.—Doug Hale, Smithlawn Church of Christ, Lubbock, Tx.
This book is different in many ways from the rest of the histories of the movement. The main difference is that it is not written from a sectarian standpoint. Brother Garrett does not condemn any of the “parties,” but simply states how the divisions took place.—Larry Miles, in book review submitted to Work and Work (premillennial Churches of Christ)
It will become famous, not alone for what it contains but from what is omitted. The selection of the pioneers was superb. The conservatives, the liberals, and the idiosyncratics, all came in for their share. It resurrected men who have been placed on the back shelf, and I confess to have learned a lot about some of those who were really “characters” and who lend color to any movement.—Carl Ketcherside. St. Louis, Mo.
It is unusually well written.—Reg Westmoreland, chairman, Dept. of Journalism, North Texas State University.
It is excellent, balanced, sympathetic, and yet commendably objective. You’ve treated us non-Sunday School folks very kindly, maybe more than we generally deserve.—Tom Langford, Texas Tech U., Lubbock.
Your keen alert perceptivity is reflected on every page. Perhaps you have selected the proper time for entrance into our situation. Hopefully there are concerned ones who will take advantage of the fruits of your years of study.—L. E. Terry, Kansas City, Mo.
