Macel's Guest Editorial in Washington Post

Macel Falwell
The Real Jerry Falwell


When my son Jonathan suggested that I write a book about my life with Jerry, it sounded impossible to me. Privately, I had thought about it, but I didn¹t have the confidence that I could actually do it. Even Jerry had encouraged me to write a book, but I always preferred to stay out of the limelight and let him do the talking. Luckily, my children had more faith in me than I had in myself, and they persuaded me that it was time to tell my side of the story.

If I had known what my future would be like when I married the skinny young man named Jerry Falwell, I probably would have run in the opposite direction. Looking back on our life together, I am glad I didn¹t know the details, because missing out on the wonderful life Jerry and I shared would have been a great tragedy. We were married for nearly 50 years, and I would not trade a single moment of it. Part of the reason I agreed to write the book is so that I could preserve all of those beautiful memories for myself, my family, and the generations to come.

comments section is obviously filled with great discourse.





Although some of them do have a point. This article is an advertisement.

I read many of the comments and all I can say is that some people's opinion of him will never change even after the publication of this book.

Much of Macel's comments sound like they came directly from the book: in all seriousness, it really is a must read.
