Discover the life of Robert E. Lee through a biography that explores not only the soldier, but the faith and convictions that shaped the man.
From his childhood in Virginia and demanding years at West Point to the battlefields of Mexico and the defining events of the Civil War, Robert E. Lee by Lee Roddy tells the story of one of the most prominent military figures in American history through a distinctly Christian lens.
Readers follow Lee as he cares for his ailing mother, develops the discipline that distinguished him at West Point, serves as an Army engineer and officer, faces combat in the Mexican-American War, and wrestles with the momentous decisions that confronted him as the nation moved toward Civil War.
The story continues through the major campaigns of the Civil War, the surrender at Appomattox, and Lee's postwar decision to devote himself to educating a new generation as president of Washington College.
A Biography with a Strong Christian Emphasis
Throughout the book, author Lee Roddy gives particular attention to Lee's Christian faith―his reliance on prayer, his belief in the Bible, his sense of duty before God, and the role faith played during times of loss, conflict, defeat, and rebuilding.
After the war, the book follows Lee as he turns his attention toward peace, education, and service to the next generation, bringing the story beyond the battlefield and into the final chapter of his life.
