The author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Battle Cry of Freedom and the New York Times bestsellers Crossroads of Freedom and Tried by War, among many other award-winning books, James M. McPherson is America's preeminent Civil War historian. In this collection of provocative and illuminating essays, McPherson offers fresh insight into many of the enduring questions about one of the defining moments in our nation's history.McPherson sheds light on topics large and small, from the average soldier's avid love of newspapers to the postwar creation of the mystique of a Lost Cause in the South. Readers will find insightful pieces on such intriguing figures as Harriet Tubman, John Brown, Jesse James, and William Tecumseh Sherman, and on such vital issues as Confederate military strategy, the failure of peace negotiations to end the war, and the realities and myths of the Confederacy. This Mighty Scourge includes several never-before-published essays--pieces on General Robert E. Lee's goals in the Gettysburg campaign, on Lincoln and Grant in the Vicksburg campaign, and on Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief. All of the essays have been updated and revised to give the volume greater thematic coherence and continuity, so that it can be read in sequence as an interpretive history of the war and its meaning for America and the world.
Combining the finest scholarship with luminous prose, and packed with new information and fresh ideas, this book brings together the most recent thinking by the nation's leading authority on the Civil War.

Extremely Disappointed
Format: Paperback
I own a fair amount of Rick Renner books. He’s an anointed, gifted and intelligent teacher of God’s Word. This book is not one of his best works. It’s informative, yes. However I found the redundancy extremely annoying. The book is 81 pages in length. It could have been written as a pamphlet. Rick repeated the same content so often I came away with feeling it was the only way to make it 81 pages long. Additionally, I’m bothered by the cost. It totaled out at $13.90. I would have preferred the pamphlet version and donated to Rick’s ministry. I would not recommend the book at $14.00

Thus is a fantastic journey through Ricks teaching on The supernatural life In Christ our Lord and Savior.

Powerful Little Book
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this book so much that I have the kindle version and the paperback. Sometimes its hard to pray or I don’t know how to pray but I can grab this book and chose the topic I need in that moment. If I am out an about then I pull it up on the kindle app on the phone or iPad. It can be used daily to start your day. Lady’s she even includes a decree/prayer for energy and to keep our hormones balanced!!! It’s the very first decree/prayer in the book. For the end of the day there are decrees on restful sleep and visions and dreams from God. You can start your day with this book and end your day with it. Anything that pops up during the day that overwhelms you then this book probably has the decree you need in that very moment.
I really enjoy that it is written in such a way that I am not praying alone but praying in agreement with others. Where two or more agree on anything it will be done (paraphrased Matt 18-19) I can almost hear Brenda praying these with me sometimes. There is something very comforting knowing that you are not praying these alone.
This book has also helped/encouraged me to start writing my own scripture base decrees.
