Customer Reviews

Lovely Book!

I usually don't buy large coffee table books, but I made an exception for this one and I'm glad I did. I love the beautiful photos of the old, historic churches. I think churches are sacred spaces where you truly feel the presence of God and this book reflects that. I like the story and history that goes along with the photos. This is a lovely book and I enjoy looking/reading through it. The church on the cover is actually in Alabama, which I enjoyed because that is where I am originally from. The Southern churches and New England churches are my very favorite.

Country Churches

I have ordered several similar books and this is the best of the lot. Great pictures. Great price. Enjoyable. I keep going back for reference.

Beautiful Book

This is a beautiful book. Mr. Morgan made great choices of which churches to photograph. The table of contents uses thumbnail images so you can quickly find the churches that interest you. The photography is superb. Altogether a book that is a joy to possess.
