The God Teacher

by Roy Davenport

Jacob Powell is a newly ordained minister when the American Civil War begins. Born in the South and educated in the North, he finds himself torn from his God and between two nations, yet he refuses to take sides. Rejected by his family for refusing to support the Confederacy, Jacob seeks a new life on the Western frontier. There Jacob finds a new family whose deeply buried secrets remain hidden, yet they will change his life forever. As he once again returns to the war-torn South, Jacob finds his faith repeatedly tested. This book takes you through the longest siege of the war, the battle of Port Hudson and the aftermath as one man continues his journey of renewal.

My neighbor write this book. He gave it to my wife and I as a gift. It just goes to show that you never know who is living right next door until you meet them.
