About This Book

A married couple experience a spiritual awakening, embrace Bible salvation, and then set out to find doctrinal truth amid competing denominations and local disputes. They become involved in heated schoolhouse debates, wrestle with which congregation to join, study Scripture closely, expose and resist false teachings, and take part in revival meetings that include discussion of speaking in tongues. Their candid confessions and public struggles clarify convictions and culminate in founding a congregation modeled on New Testament practices that emphasizes holiness and doctrinal purity in their community.
