James H. Garrison (1842-1931), was one of the most influential leaders of the Stone-Campbell Movement in the period after the death of Alexander Campbell. For 62 years he was editor or regular writer of The Christian-Evangelist. Perhaps more than anyone else in his generation, he was responsible for preserving both the high view of Scripture and the heritage of Christian unity of the early Stone-Campbell Movement. He authored numerous books, but Alone with God proved to be his most popular work.
