Jerry Falwell - His Life and Legacy July 21, 2008

I highly recommend the book, JERRY FALWELL-HIS LIFE AND LEGACY, written by his wife, Macel Falwell. Having briefly met Jerry Falwell on the campus of a Christian college in the early 70's, my memory was marked with the impression that he was an extraordinary man. While reading Macel Falwell's book about her beloved husband, Jerry, my initial impression of him was validated and my respect for this man of God increased immensely. As Mrs. Falwell describes in her book, Dr. Falwell's life was not easy, yet it was abundantly blessed because he gave his all to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Macel Falwell intimately shares how Jerry's life and legacy impacted our world. He loved God, his family and his ministry of love to people around the world. Throughout his life, Jerry Falwell was truly a good and faithful servant for God.

I was lucky enough to attend and graduate from Liberty University. In the years since I've graduated I've gotten used to the need to be prepared for all reactions when I tell people I was one of "Jerry's Kids". The opinions are rarely middle of the road..either love him or hate him. I can say I loved him..He was a great role model to students, he seemed to be a great father and husband and he was exactly as Mrs. Falwell presented him in her book. It was great to hear her side of the story after all these years. The book was excellently written and once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I appreciated hearing all of their stories from their life, and the excerpts from folks who knew him well only added to the book. Whether or not he agreed with a person, he always showed a love for them...perfect example is Larry Flynt. I count it a privilege to have been able to see how God can use someone when they are completely willing to serve Him. Jerry and Liberty truly instilled in me the knowledge that anything is possible with God. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that the Jerry Falwell presented in the media is the only side of him there was. There was much more to him than that, just as there is with all of us.

I am from Lynchburg,Virginia therefore I am very familiar with Jerry Falwell and TRBC. I think the book portrayed Jerry just as he is and I am very proud to be from Lynchburg because of Jerry! I was glad that Mrs. Falwell set the record straight on alot of things and I hope people will remember the good things he did during his life time. I had to reach for the tissue box when he was offering the waitress a scholarship but that was Jerry through and through. I purchased another copy of the book for my dad for Father's Day and I have passed my copy on to my sister and neice. I hope everyone enjoys it!
A good book, A good Man June 2, 2008

I bought the book because I herd so much haltered from the media I wanted to know why.
I now know why. Jerry Falwell devoted his life to one thing, to telling everyone he could about the love and salvation of Jesus
He did it well, and he did it with no hidden motive. This is impossible to understand if you don't know Jesus. They tried everything to make him mad, to find him out, to uncover his weakness and he just kept smiling and telling them about the love of Jesus. There was nothing to uncover, he said he cheated no one, and he didn't, he said he hated sin but loved the sinner, and he did love them. He said he cared about people and when they checked carefully it turned out that he cared about people. That made them mad.
Praise God
