With Gladness and Singleness of Heart
With Gladness and Singleness of Heart; My Life with My Lord is the spiritual journey of a man named R. Logan Carson who was born black and without physical sight in the hills of North Carolina in the early 1930's. Even before he knew Christ as Lord and Saviour, God's hand was on him from the earliest point in time. Coming from a family who thought he would be a burden to them, the author tells how God led him from the hills, to a segregated school for the blind, and what transpired from that point on. The barriers of racial, economic and social discrimination were overcome by the leadership of God. How he came to his present position as Distinguished Professor of Christian Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC, and how he was blessed with a loving, caring wife and two children is the inspiring story of one who hopes that others surrounded by barriers and "handicaps" will let God lead them to higher heights and greater gains so that they, too, may praise Him "with gladness and singleness of heart" (Acts 2:46).
Uneasy in Babylon
The definitive account of how conservative Southern Baptists came to dominate the nation's largest Protestant denomination In 1979 a group of conservative members of the Southern Baptists Convention (SBC) initiated a campaign to reshape the denomination’s seminaries and organizations by installing new conservative leaders who made belief in the inerrancy of the Bible a condition of service. They succeeded. This book is a definitive account of that takeover. Barry Hankins argues that the conservatives sought control of the SBC not or not only to secure the denomination's orthodoxy but to mobilize Southern Baptists for a war against secular culture. The best explanation of the beliefs and be...

The Music of Bill Monroe
Spanning over 1,000 separate performances, The Music of Bill Monroe presents a complete chronological list of all of Bill Monroe’s commercially released sound and visual recordings. Each chapter begins with a narrative describing Monroe’s life and career at that point, bringing in producers, sidemen, and others as they become part of the story. The narratives read like a “who’s who” of bluegrass, connecting Monroe to the music’s larger history and containing many fascinating stories. The second part of each chapter presents the discography. Information here includes the session’s place, date, time, and producer; master/matrix numbers, song/tune titles, composer credits, personnel, instruments, and vocals; and catalog/release numbers and reissue data. The only complete bio-discography of this American musical icon, The Music of Bill Monroe is the starting point for any study of Monroe’s contributions as a composer, interpreter, and performer.
The Southern Baptist Convention & Civil Rights, 1954–1995
According to conventional wisdom, theological liberals led the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation and racism in the twentieth century. That's only half the story. Liberals criticized segregation before mainstream Southern Baptists. They created racially integrated ministry opportunities. They pressed the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation. Yet historians have discounted the role of conservative theology in the convention's shift away from racial segregation and prejudice. This book chronicles how conservative theology proved remarkably compatible with efforts toward racial justice in America's largest Protestant denomination between 1954 and 1995. At times conservative theology was even a catalyst for rejecting racial prejudice. Efforts to eradicate racism and segregation were, in fact, least successful when they appealed to the social gospel or appeared to draw from liberal theology.
