Jerry Falwell: His Life and Legacy

I had the distinct privilege to work for "Doc" from 1973 to 1985. Every word is true and reading it was like a family reunion. The proof of Macel's account concerning raising their children can be seen by watching Jonathan preach and I'm certan it applies to J.J. also - they make the fathers heart in me swell with pride: something I'm sure I share with Jerry as he too watches over them' a book to read and re-read and to share Bill Paul

Jerry Falwell: His Life and Legacy

I am from Lynchburg,Virginia therefore I am very familiar with Jerry Falwell and TRBC. I think the book portrayed Jerry just as he is and I am very proud to be from Lynchburg because of Jerry! I was glad that Mrs. Falwell set the record straight on alot of things and I hope people will remember the good things he did during his life time. I had to reach for the tissue box when he was offering the waitress a scholarship but that was Jerry through and through. I purchased another copy of the book for my dad for Father's Day and I have passed my copy on to my sister and neice. I hope everyone enjoys it!

A good book, A good Man

I bought the book because I herd so much haltered from the media I wanted to know why. I now know why. Jerry Falwell devoted his life to one thing, to telling everyone he could about the love and salvation of Jesus He did it well, and he did it with no hidden motive. This is impossible to understand if you don't know Jesus. They tried everything to make him mad, to find him out, to uncover his weakness and he just kept smiling and telling them about the love of Jesus. There was nothing to uncover, he said he cheated no one, and he didn't, he said he hated sin but loved the sinner, and he did love them. He said he cared about people and when they checked carefully it turned out that he cared about people. That made them mad. Praise God Frank

Jason is the true Bigot...

The book explores the life and times of a man who boldly stood for truth. The last review by Jason shows who is the real bigot. Was Jerry Falwell perfect? The answer would be no. But anyone who knew him personally can see through the hyperbole that the "liberal left" spreads in the name of being "moderate". All I know is that if you are in the middle you get ran over from both ways! I believe that you can learn who the real man was over how he was portrayed. After all, Jesus was accused of being the devil by the people of his time. I think people will enjoy this book or his autobiography entitled Falwell.

The true story of a great Christian American

I highly recommend this inspirational story of the life and legacy of Dr. Jerry Falwell. It is truly a blessing that Macel Falwell has chosen to share the true story of this great Christian American. The Godless, hate filled left has distorted the great works of Dr. Falwell, but the reality tells a different story. We in America (especially Christians) could use a few more Jerry Falwells today, as we face a moral & spiritual crisis greater than ever before.
