In the John Chisholm Church History Series, Church Historian C. Wayne Kilpatrick utilizes his over four decades of extensive research of church records, journal articles, unpublished autobiographies, documented papers written for schools and universities, published and unpublished interviews, courthouse records, and even monuments and cemeteries to construct a new history of the origins of Churches of Christ in North Alabama. The first four volumes focus on the four Alabama counties north of the Tennessee River-Jackson, Madison, Limestone, and Lauderdale counties. This is where the Restoration Movement in Alabama began Although they faced many struggles and hardships, these pioneering believers were known for their vivid faith as a dedicated group of believers committed to Scripture. This is their story.
