Includes bibliographical references (pages 124-125) and index.Regional history -- Architecture and Richard Upjohn -- Remembrance of a church / Jason S. Clodfelter -- Paintings of roadside churches from thirty-two North Carolina counties -- Faith stories and essays on the evidence of faith. The Reformation in England ; Early Christian settlement in North America ; The decades leading to the Revolutionary War ; Philosophers and political theoreticians ; The founding fathers ; The Declaration of Independence ; The Constitution of the United States ; Concluding thoughts -- Roadside photographs / Allen W. Huffman."Barry Huffman, a self-taught artist, takes an unexpected journey of faith when she paints sixty-five portraits of small, mostly rural, churches in the western counties of North Carolina. She views the churches as the architectural icons that serve as reminders of the role of Christianity in families, in communities, and in the founding of the United States. Courage, perseverance, honesty, and faithfulness - requirements of Christian devotion and of Constitutional nationhood - are themes in her brief history essays that provide insight into the spirituality of the Founding Fathers as they moved toward creating the vital documents that defined and secured the United States of America: the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Steeples and Stories of Fair Colors is the story of her faith journey, and she includes numerous other faith stories of a living God acting in everyday lives. The overarching theme is love - people loving God, family, and country, and God loving all His people."--Page 4 of cover
