Join Author Dr. Will Joslin for a book signing of his newly released book, “God, Guts, and Gallantry: The Faith, Courage, and Accomplishments of Major James Lide Coker.” Dr. Joslin will be presenting his biography on Major Coker and signing copies of the book at The Nook Bookstore.
About the Book:
Major James Lide Coker, from South Carolina, had his left leg shattered at the Battle of Lookout Mountain in the Civil War, and was at death’s door for ten months as a Union prisoner. By faith and courage, he miraculously survived and went on to found 20 successful businesses and uplift his entire region during difficult times in the decades after the war.
In “God, Guts, and Gallantry: The Faith, Courage, and Accomplishments of Major James Lide Coker,” Dr. Joslin gives us a transparent look into the life of one of America’s greatest citizens, revealing how this humble, yet great man rose up from catastrophe to redeem the South as an outstanding Christian entrepreneur, public servant, and leader in social progress. Also, the book may be ordered at www.majorcokerbook.com, and is available on Amazon.
