Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado's houses of worship reflect the same trademark resourcefulness and fortitude that the pioneers and history makers demonstrated throughout the state's history. Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, established in 1854, remains the state's oldest church. Formed by a group of African American settlers, including former slaves, Zion Baptist became Colorado's first black congregation on November 15, 1865. On May 23, 1868, famed frontiersman Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the historic chapel at Fort Lyon. And thanks to con artist Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith, who raised $600, Creede erected its first church in 1892. From notable parishioners to murders in two separate Denver churches, historian Linda Wommack surveys the heritage and wealth of holy houses in the Mile High State.

Book excerpt: With wonderfully hand-painted watercolor images, Foundations of His Purpose celebrates the rich history of early churches in the Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, and Fountain areas of Colorado and is dedicated to all of the early Christians, Jews and free thinkers who mapped out foundations, gathered stones, sawed boards and hammered nails so they could have a place to worship. Once called the "City of Churches, Colorado Springs, Colorado enjoys a mild climate and breathtaking vistas while tucked against the base of its picturesque backdrop, Pikes Peak. When General William Jackson Palmer chose the fl at plain above Monument Creek for his new Fountain Colony, incorporated as Colorado Springs in 1872, he envisioned a town of law and order. It was to be a place for families, schools, libraries, parks, and churches. Lots were given to anyone or any group who wanted to build a church and citizens of "good moral character and strict temperance habits" were purposely sought to settle the town.

Book excerpt: Visually beautiful and historically important, the Spanish missions of the United States are a unique legacy of two very different cultures. Conceived as an expression of the Catholic faith of the European conquerors, they were built and maintained by native Americans, who incorporated their own traditions. A Sense of Mission presents 29 of these fascinating and popular churches in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Southern California. More than 150 color photographs feature dramatic exteriors and grounds, altarpieces, statues, carvings, frescoes, and other folk details. The text explores the history of the missions, how they were built, and the meaning behind their symbols, while an introduction by N. Scott Momaday lends insight from the Native American perspective. Visitor information, maps, and an annotated reading list round out this handsome, authoritative guide of more than a decade.
