Excellent book about the deep spiritual roots of Kansas City! Our church, Colonial Presbyterian, is mentioned several times in the book with the powerful influence of Pastor Ted Nissen and Pastor Bob Lehleitner in the Kansas City community. Going on a "Spiritual Roots of Kansas City" tour next week that will bring the book to life.
