Jeb Stuart’s Christian Faith 

Jeb Stuart's Christian Faith

By Tom Perry

At the age of seventeen, James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart arrived in New York in 1850. He wrote to a cousin,

I expect that you as well as all my old friends about Emory have concluded that I have renounced the cross since I came to this place usually considered as so great variance with religion.
However, he reassured his cousin of his faith, stating
I rejoice to say that I still have evidence of a savior's pardoning love.
Stuart acknowledged the temptations of New York City but relied on his faith to guide him, praying
to deliver me from temptation and prayed God to guide me in the right way and teach me to walk as a Christian should.

Author's summary: Jeb Stuart's faith remained strong despite temptations.
