I just received a flyer from Baylor University Press advertising the book, Providence, by Will D. Campbell. The flyer includes the following information: "Hailed as Will Campbell's most literary work, Providence chronicles the more than 170-year history of a square mile of plantation land in Holmes County, Mississippi. Shifting between history and autobiography, Campbell illustrates the quest for justice among the Choctaws, African Americans, and whites on the parcel of land designated Section 13." Reviews include, "This book offers history for people who don't like history. It is the story of America, of the struggle over race relations and economic justice, and of the search for community." - Perry H. Biddle, Jr., The Christian Century "The book that follows addresses the issues of poverty and bigotry in ways that few readers will soon forget and from a Christian perspective that we might all endeavor to emulate." - Fredrick Barton, from the introduction "Will D. Campbell is widely considered one of the nation's most important commentators on race, religion and community. The only white minister present at the creation of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Campbell was actively involved in the Civil Rights movement in the South. A graduate of Wake Forest University and Yale Divinity School, Campbell has authored seventeen books. His Brother to a Dragonfly was a finalist for the National Book Award and was named by Time magazine as one of the ten most notable nonfiction books of the 1970s. Winner of the Lilian Smith Prize, the Lyndhurst Prize, and the Alex Haley Award, Campbell was the subject of a recent PBS documentary entitled 'God's Will.'
