Book Description:
How could a church culture that lifted high the name of Jesus make covenant with the Confederacy? How did the Southern Baptist Convention lead the way? How do divided hearts and unholy covenants still hinder awakening in the conservative US church culture? What dramatic changes will a spirit of grace and supplication bring? We Confess! The Civil War, the South, and the Church uncovers the answers, historically and biblically. God is revealing what we haven't wanted to see, so we can become who we truly are. He promises to cleanse us from bloodguilt not yet cleansed, as we say what we haven't dared say. As we confess, healing, life, oneness, witness and true worship flow. As we confess, our Lord is honored and his kingdom furthered. So why don't we, who most tend to gravitate to the word 'celebrate' when talking of the Civil War, instead throw all caution to the wind-and confess? Honest, compelling, courageous, redemptive, this remarkable look at the conservative church culture rooted in the Deep South explores such topics as king cotton and mighty oaks; the fast God has chosen; spiritual bulimia; spiritual schizophrenia; blood covenant; cleansing from bloodguilt; an undivided heart.

Review:
Deborah pens "We Confess" in a well written, complex and in depth plot. It wasn't an easy read for me as this is written in a time where it was very dark in our United States history and with God thrown in, but once I got over my "fears", I was totally engrossed in the book. A must read for all Christians and for all who love the US and the south.
I give "We Confess" a 5 star rating.
