Title: Beloved BrideAuthor: Bill Potter
Genre: History, biography, romance
Age level: Adult and family
Plot: This book includes the text (and explains the context) of many letters that Stonewall Jackson sent to his wife, Mary Anna. The letters tell a story of a Christ-centered, God-honoring marriage. The book provides a beautiful example of godly marital love and romance, and it is amazing how close in heart the Jacksons remained and how Stonewall continued to lead his wife, despite separation due to the Civil War. The letters are also interesting in that they shed light on some of Jackson's (and, representatively, some southern Christians') beliefs regarding the Civil War.
Precautions: None
Ratings: This book provides an inspiring example of Christian marriage. I would recommend it.
