History of Winter Park United Methodist Church by W Breathitt Gray, Jr.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a thorough job author Gray did assembling this book. I’ve read many histories that are longer by, so-called, professors and doctors that are not as well done as this book. The book is also well written.
The book lays out the development of the church by explaining how pioneers came to the area and the development that started of Winter Park and the churches by so many Methodists. It continues with very good listing of those who were responsible and what they did. Each chapter is broken up into time period and dates are used frequently to keep the reader buoyed in the sea of history presented.
Another great addition is at the end that explains what the well-known stain glass panels mean. Rarely is that kind of significant detail presented.
One item that would have been very helpful is a map with street names to help the reader be further oriented.
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 9 out of 10 points.
