‘Hold Onto Your Guns’ is a powerful story about how faith and community can stand strong through generations. Written by Ralph Kinnel, this book traces the history of the Sinclair Church of Christ, starting with its roots in a small East Texas revival during the 1930s. What began with a traveling evangelist and a few faithful families grew into a congregation filled with life, purpose, and connection. The book brings to light the dedication of those early members, their struggles, and the milestones they reached together. It is a heartfelt tribute to the leaders, preachers, and everyday people who kept the congregation alive and growing. At the center of this story is a powerful message that guided many of its members: hold onto your guns. These simple words, shared by longtime member Gene Roberson, came to stand for strength, faith, and not giving up when times get hard. As the pages unfold, readers are invited to see the congregation not just as a building, but as a living story of people standing together. With warmth, honesty, and great care, Ralph Kinnel depicts how lasting change happens when people believe in something bigger than themselves. ‘Hold Onto Your Guns’ is a beautiful reminder that when a community stays united through faith and purpose, it can leave a lasting impact on the world around it.
