The Wall Builder: Leaving No Stone Unturned

In the early 1980s, a young man, recently discharged from the United States Navy, experiences a verbal call from God, saying, "Whom shall I send to unite my people!" Eager to obey but unsure how exactly to follow this call, he enrolls in the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. While there, he is assigned to repair and rebuild the century-old, mile-long, dry-laid stone wall that was originally built by a freed slave affectionately called Doctor Tom. It is while rebuilding the wall that he comes to understand this task as a parable symbolic of the community within that is embroiled in a controversy over the inerrancy of scripture. At that time, the controversy was shaking the foundation of the entire Southern Baptist Convention, with the historical campus and seminary at its epicenter.The Wall Builder: Leaving No Stone Unturned is an autobiographical account of his experiences and realizations as he struggles to follow the leading of the Spirit. Understanding gradually replaces disillusionment as he comes to the conclusion that the seminary is but a microcosm of a much larger problem that infects all denominations and impairs Christian unity on a global scale.
