"I fear it is now out of the power of man and in God alone must be our trust. No act could give me so much pleasure as to restore peace to my country." Thus spoke Robert E. Lee, a man torn between obligation to the government he had so faithfully served and the state he so dearly loved. Though many were the causes of the war, Lee fought not for the enslavement of man, but for the freedom of his treasured home. J. Steven Wilkins gives us a fresh look at the character of this man of God and the call of duty he could not ignore. 
 Available in January, 1997.

Thomas Jonathan Jackson, dubbed Stonewall"" following the battle of First Manassas in July 1861, was born in 1824 in Clarksburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). This extremely complex, often misunderstood man was orphaned at a young age, graduated from West Point in 1846, and participated in the Mexican War in 1848.
Attracted to the Virginia Military Institute in 1851, he resigned his commission in the army a year later. He left VMI in 1861 to join the Confederate army. Immediately commissioned a colonel, within months he had been promoted to the rank of brigadier general. He was mortally wounded by friendly fire at the May 1863 battle of Chancellorsville and died a week later.
Revered as a brilliant military leader, tactician, and one of the most adroit Confederate commanders, Jackson is a study in contrasts. He was justifiably feared by his enemies and totally beloved by his men. Yet his humble and sincere faith seemed at odds with his reputation as a ferocious warrior.
All Things for Good is a thoughtful new volume in the Leaders in Action Series. In it J. Steven Wilkins challenges some of the myths that surround Stonewall Jackson and celebrates his devout Christian faith.""

Historian Samuel Eliot Morison noted, There are but a handful of men who seem to stand above history. Robert E. Lee is preeminent among them."" He was offered the command of both the Union and Confederate forces because the men of his day recognized that Lee was a man of impeccable character and unimpeachable courage.""
