Dancing with Baptists

Written by Ken Bailey
Read to You by Mike Smith

He survived Vietnam. Now comes the hard part—coming home.

Greg Henderson grew up in Houston, Texas, where good Baptists went to church, respected their elders, followed the rules—and certainly didn't dance.

But war has a way of changing a man's understanding of right and wrong.

As a young Air Force medic serving in Vietnam, Greg witnesses the horrors of war and develops an extraordinary friendship with a Black military chaplain. Through danger, sacrifice, and unexpected moments of grace, Greg begins questioning the prejudices and traditions he once accepted without a second thought.

Returning home to the turbulent America of the late 1960s, Greg faces a different kind of battlefield. He's determined to rekindle a complicated romance, confront the racial divisions within his church, and discover whether the faith he grew up with can stand up to the lessons he learned in Vietnam.

Along the way, there's Southern humor, unforgettable characters, romance, hypocrisy, heartbreak, and more than a few uncomfortable moments for the Baptist establishment.

Dancing with Baptists is a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, and ultimately thought-provoking novel about friendship, faith, love, racial reconciliation, and the courage to challenge what we've always believed.

Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't learning the steps.

It's finding the courage to dance.
