After great deliberation, we are pleased to announce the winner of the Vision Forum 2003 Biblical Manhood Essay Contest. Upon thoughtful and careful examination of each of the entries, the judges have chosen “How Stonewall Jackson Demonstrated a Biblical Vision of Manhood,” written by Amanda Freeborn. Miss Freeborn concisely and directly answered the essay question, “How did Stonewall Jackson demonstrate a consistent vision of biblical manhood both in his homelife and in his professional military career?” All biographical information was pertinent to the subject of the essay. Her supporting points manifested a clear and thorough comprehension of Jackson’s vision of manhood as exhibited at home and in his career. We congratulate her for a very fine essay!

We would like to thank the many participants for their great effort and thorough research evident in all of the essays. It is always a privilege to read the contest entries. We hope you will enter again next time.
