A convoluted history of American Presbyterianism clearly written. Sometimes it's a bit difficullt to keep all the twists and turns straight,

Seeking a Better Country: 300 Years of American Presbyterianism

Excellent book with all of the names, dates, and stories you expect in a well-researched book of history.
