Author from Milford, KS Publishes Book Titled "Spiritual Heritage in Glass: Flint Hills of Kansas"

September 25, 2014 - "Spiritual Heritage in Glass: Flint Hills of Kansas," a new book by LeRoy Walters, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Aside from playing a rich part in the nation's history, Geary County takes no small pride in the tradition of stained-glass use among its well-renowned religious buildings, along with the proofs of faith interwoven in the stories that went with them.

St. Mary's Chapel, for instance, features a long standing Gothic architecture, with exquisite works of arts depicting the central messages of Christianity. Noticeable, of course, are the prominent use of stained-glass windows throughout the chapel, helping accentuate the overall air of sanctity and feeling of sanctuary for the churchgoers.

Apart from the interesting tales about the buildings themselves, LeRoy incorporates interesting historical pieces that should intrigue the readers about the subjects found in those sacred sites.
