5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, January 24, 2000

By	Clayton D. Doolittle "claydoo" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

John Dwyer has taken history, and turned it into live action while sprinkling in a healthy dose of spiritual excitement and emotional stimulation. I feel as if I have ridden with Stonewall through many of the historic battles of the pre-Gettysburg Civil War. He strongly displays the reliance Gen. Jackson and others had on their God and their relationships with Jesus Christ. I recommend this book without reservation or condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stonewall, August 11, 2003

By	Connie (Winchester, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This book is truly worth reading, especially for Christians. It gives you a view of Stonewall Jackson's personal life as well as of the Civil War. His faith was the most important thing in his life and he wasn't afraid to share it with others. In fact, he was instrumental in the spirtual revival of the Southern soldiers during the war. I learned so much about him personally and also about how the South suffered so much at the hands of the Union. It was a wonderful book and I look forward to reading more books by Mr. Dwyer, who also is a man not afraid to share his faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best novels I have read in many years., June 3, 1999

By A Customer

I am John Dwyer's literary agent, and I was the acquisitions editor at Broadman & Holman Publishers who got the Stonewall novel contracted.

When John and I first talked in 1991 about writing a novel on Stonewall Jackson, I knew then that this Confederate commander would make a wonderful subject for a fiction treatment. Little did I know, though, how creatively yet historically accurate John would write Stonewall's story. I knew John had the writing ability and talent, and I knew he had the historical grasp of the Stonewall figure. But when I saw how well John pulled the entire story together, I knew the novel was going to be something very special. And that it certainly has turned out to be.

Stonewall is a powerful epic set during America's most tumultuous, heart-renching period of history. The novel shows us how a person of genuine good character can overcome what for many people would be overwhelming odds and humbly rise to such a high stature that even his enemies admired him.

A love story. Adventure. War. A faith on fire for God. A social conscience that challenged the accepted morals of the day. Tragedy. Humor. Heroism. Incredible achievement made in the face of doubters and cynics. The Stonewall novel has it all.

Do yourself a favor. Buy Stonewall for yourself and enjoy it from cover to cover. Then buy more copies and give them as gifts. Neither you nor the others who receive copies of this wonderful read will be disappointed in the least.
