Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Apr 25, Terrijo rated it it was amazing Shelves: Being a Westerner, who moved to the South for school, reading this book completely blew my mind about what really happened in the War Between the States, aka The 'Civil' War What has been force fed to untold generations by 'official' media, is NOTHING to what really was occurring, and why. This book is amazing in what it tells you about the people involved in the war and their amazing Testimonies for Christ.

Jul 21, Joshua rated it it was amazing. The only wars a christian should endorse are wars of self defence. Wars of aggression and dominion to spread democracy or build and empire are wrong. The Southern people fought a war of self defence to protect their families from an invader. Read about these battles won.

Our forefathers were avid christians seeking to convert the lost. This was a very interesting book! It more of less details the revivals that went on in the Southern Army during the final year of the Civil War as told by those who witnessed it whether through letters or other means. The language is not what we're used to because it may be a bit too formal for today's readers but it's something that I liked and for me made the book all the more appealing. For Christians I believe that this would be worth reading.

Jul 06, Stephen rated it really liked it. Excellent history, well written original sources. People who want to equate the confederacy to Nazi Germany really need to read this, but they won't. Feb 09, Lynn Joshua rated it really liked it. This book tells about the revival of in the Confederate army.

Christ in the Camp by John William Jones

It is mostly all letters and journal entries. The author was a pastor who was a personal friend of Lee, Jackson, Gordon, and others. The dedication to God, and the faith in His sovereignty, even in discouragement, suffering and defeat of some of these brave men was a rebuke to me. Fischer explains that she does not believe that people are able to choose their belief system once they pass childhood, and that it is important that they be "indoctrinated" in evangelical Christian values from a young age.

Fischer also explains that democracy is flawed and designed to destroy itself "because we have to give everyone equal freedom". The DVD , released in January , includes 15 deleted scenes. In another, a woman takes several of the kids on a "prayer walk" through Lee's Summit, and later takes them to a pro-life women's clinic. A Planned Parenthood clinic is located next door, and the woman has the kids pray over it.

In an interview, the pro-life clinic's director says that she was very pleased to see children so passionate about ending abortion. However, according to Grady and Ewing, Fischer and the others did not see their activism for socially conservative causes as political, but as a matter of faith.

They also reveal that Fischer and the others did not understand why some of the scenes of them speaking in tongues and praying over objects were included in the film, since such occurrences were second nature to them. Furthermore, on the DVD commentary, Heidi and Grady refer to the central character, Becky Fisher, as "a great documentary subject" because of her charisma.

The directors' claims that they were simply trying to create an 'objective' film about children and faith ring hollow. I don't question the motives of the Christians shown in the film. Indeed, the earnestness and zeal with which the young people pictured attempt to live out their faith are admirable.

Unfortunately, however, it appears that they were unknowingly being manipulated by the directors in their effort to cast evangelical Christianity in an unflattering light. In November , Fischer announced that she would be shutting down the camp due to negative reaction towards her in the film. According to Fischer's website, the owners of the property used for the camp shown in the film were concerned about vandalism to the premises following the film's release and thus will not allow it to be used for any future camps.

Fischer has said that the camp will be indefinitely postponed until other suitable premises can be found, but that it will be back. The website's consensus states, "Evangelical indoctrination is given an unflinching, even-handed look in this utterly worthwhile documentary. Michael Smith of the Tulsa World gave the film three stars out of four, describing it as "impressive in its even-handed presentation", "straightforward" and "a revealing, unabashed look at the formation of tomorrow's army of God.

The Chicago Tribune reviewer Jessica Reaves also gave the film three stars out of four and writes that Jesus Camp is "an enlightening and frank look at what the force known as Evangelical America believes, preaches and teaches their children" and concludes that what the filmmakers "have accomplished here is remarkable—capturing the visceral humanity, desire and unflagging political will of a religious movement. Some reviewers responded negatively to the film; Rob Nelson of the Village Voice called the movie "[an] absurdly hypocritical critique of the far right's role in the escalating culture war", [18] and J.

Jones of the Chicago Reader criticized the film for "failing to distinguish the more fundamentalist Pentecostals" and for inserting "unnecessary editorializing" by using clips from Mike Papantonio 's radio show. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Jesus Camp Promotional poster.
