First United Methodist Church of Winter Park 1885 – 1995 by James D. Allen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is an updated and rewritten version of the 1970 history book of the Winter Park Methodist Church. This one is not as well written, but the focus more on the church and less of the back story, making book books a good combination to read. The author does a good job of placing even more focus of the history of the church since the 1970 version to the 1995 publication date.
There is an explanation of the stained glass windows and other sanctuary symbolism that is far better laid out than the 1970 version.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of ten points.
