THE BURNING CHURCH
by Emmy Winner, Gene Cox

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This colorful, unvarnished memoir by a veteran TV news anchorman reveals candid details of the faith and behavior that characterized life in the home of a fundamentalist Baptist preacher, circa 1940-1960. Set in several small towns in Appalachia where Reverend Truett Cox struggled to lead sinners to Christianity, it�s told by the preacher�s middle son Gene, who was what they called a �black sheep� in those days.

The stories related are true. They explain how life at that time and place was largely driven by faith. In subsequent years, the author�s outward world expanded greatly from such humble beginnings� but he writes that while his life didn�t quite come full circle, �it was close.�
