Reviews of <\/span>God, Guts, and Gallantry<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"\u201cYou have a well-researched and well-written work thatdraws an appealing portrait of the Major. I enjoyed readingit, was impressed at the breadth of resources <\/span>underlying yourstatements about him, and learned much about him that I hadnot known before. In today\u2019s world, when there are so fewencouraging models for our <\/span>youth to imitate, it is hearteningto read this portrayal of a man whose energy and faith aretransparent and whose frailties are even inspirational.\u201d<\/span>
\u2013\u2013 Dr. Malcolm C. Doubles, Coker University Provost Emeritus,<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Andrews Visiting Professor. Author of A Century Plus: AHistory of Sonoco Products Company; In Quest of Excellence: AHistory of Coker College on Its <\/span>Centennial and The Seduction o fthe Church.<\/span>

\u201cWill\u2019s success in consolidating the many threads of MajorJ. L. Coker\u2019s life and legacy into this biography is a Herculeaneffort. He not only explains how Coker\u2019s <\/span>ability, leadership andstrong faith brought success in his own time, but demonstrateshow they continue to show a moral and ethical way to successfor future <\/span>generations.\u201d<\/span>
\u2013\u2013 Hartsville native Edgar H. Lawton, Jr., <\/span><\/p>\n

Princeton graduate andHarvard MBA. Lawton\u2019s career included the management and governance of ongoing Coker business enterprises and Coker College. <\/span>He is Major Coker\u2019s great-grandson, and the grandson of J. J. Lawton, who was like a son to Major Coker.<\/span>

\"\"\u201cGod, Guts and Gallantry\u201d is a very timely book that reminds us of those men who were of strong moral character during the dark period of the history of slavery in the <\/span>American South. Without trepidation, Major Coker transcended the racial<\/span>
barriers and societal norms of the time and created gainful employment opportunities for African Americans after the Civil War. In spite of hardships along the way, he <\/span>lived so the light of Christ within him shone brightly in a time when light was so desperately needed. Surely, he was an example of what is good and right in a world <\/span>divided between good and evil and right and wrong, even today.\u201d<\/span>
\u2013\u2013 Rev. Henry Caldwell, Columbia, SC native, Pastor of First Church of God Ministries of Raleigh, NC<\/span><\/p>\n
