"Thus saith the Lord" was the cry of the men who preached the ancient gospel. Their dream was the union of all the religious groups on the foundation of the Bible. Leaving denominational names, creeds, and doctrines behind, these brave souls went back to the Scriptures and followed only what they could find in its pages. This book traces the rise of the "Reformers" of the 1800s, showing the men and the message that spread like wildfire across the United States. It also shows the adversities from without and from within as they struggled to live their lives by "thus saith the Lord."
