Update On My Defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest

Here's some of my "goings ons" for the week regarding my defense of Nathan Bedford Forrest.  And my book about his Christian conversion.

 

1. On Monday, "The Nashville Tennessean" newspaper published my Op-Ed on the salvation of Nathan Bedford Forrest. It's the same one I wrote a couple weeks back in the Memphis Daily News. Here's the link: http://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2017/05/29/why-wrote-nathan-bedford-forrests-redemption/102065064/

 

2. On Tuesday, "The Nashville Scene" a rival paper published an Editorial criticizing the Tennessean for publishing me. The "Scene" referred to me as a "noted national embarrassment."  I took this as a compliment.  Here's the link to that:  The Tennessean Runs Nathan Bedford Forrest Apologia on Memorial Day

 

3. On Wednesday, I gave a phone interview to Mike Osborne of NPR (National Public Radio) in Tennessee, so they could broadcast a blurb on their news report.  The written article is here: Author of book on Nathan Bedford Forrest's Christian conversion speaks out  ...
