‘Redemption' tells of general's life, conversion
In “Nathan Bedford Forrest's Redemption” (Pelican Publishing Co., $23), Shane Kastler, a Southern Baptist minister, examines the life of the Confederacy's Nathan Bedford Forrest, a successful general in the Civil War's western theater.
Forrest also was known for his presence at the notorious Fort Pillow Massacre.
Although Forrest was involved in the early days of the Ku Klux Klan, Christianity had some influence on him via his mother and wife. Toward the end of his life, Forrest had a conversion and tried to make up for mistakes in his life by being charitable toward blacks and whites.
Kastler compares Forrest to St. Paul, who also was a notorious sinner but who had a conversion and became a staunch defender and promoter of Christianity.
This book is highly recommended to those interested in the Civil War and in stories about conversions.
