Top O' Hill Terrace (Images of America)

I actually found this book in a drug store as an impulse buy. I bought it for my husband who is a big history buff. I thought he would get a kick out of the story. It is a great book about local history and includes many interesting facts and pictures. I was vaguely aware of the sordid history of the Baptist college, but I had no idea that it was as famous as it was back in the day. The only problem I had with the book was the price. It cost me 23.00 dollars. I thought that was a bit high for a small paperback. I have since found it on amazon for less that eleven dollars so I really don't understand the price gouging for the locals.

The history of Top O' Hill Terrace is remarkable and very insightful for not only Texans and those of the DFW (Dallas/Ft. Worth) area, but for those looking to see how God is working in miraculous ways with the historic area now being Arlington Baptist University.

Fascinating - if I hadn't been driven past the gates of the place since I was a youngster, I would've said this was an excellently-woven fictional tale. I was born and raised in Arlington, but I barely knew this location's history. This slim book is a wonderful retelling of what events can be shared, it leaves me wanting to know more. There should be a movie filmed about Top O' Hill Terrace!

I enjoyed the book, but i wish there was more in it about the 16 men who were in the beginning of the seminary! (My Dad was one of those men...Merle Winters) Also, the pages began to fall out after reading it one time.

Good book on a history not known by all.

Very interesting historical account. Fascinating photographs. A "good read" that doesn't take long.

Great local history of Arlington Texas. The real rugged wild west.

Very interesting narrative of what is now Arlington Baptist College in Arlington, Texas. Used to be called Bible Baptist Seminary. Wonderful tours available of the facility.
