The Morgan County Library invites the community to its March Sunday Talk featuring author Sonny Seals, who will discuss his newest book, More Historic Rural Churches of Georgia, released on October 1, 2025. During the program, Seals will also share insights about the growing effort to establish a Georgia Historic Rural Church Trail, highlighting the history and cultural significance of rural houses of worship across the state.

Seals previously co-authored the widely celebrated book Historic Rural Churches of Georgia with George S. Hart, originally published in 2016. Now in its fourth printing, that book featured 47 historic churches from across Georgia and included art-quality photography from eight photographers, along with an introduction by John Scott Thomas and a foreword by former President Jimmy Carter.

The newly released 2025 volume, More Historic Rural Churches of Georgia, continues that legacy by showcasing 50 additional historic churches from throughout the state. The book features more than 250 stunning photographscaptured by 13 photographers, documenting both interior and exterior views of these remarkable historic structures. The new edition includes a foreword by Ambassador Andrew Young and an introductory essay by Doug E. Thompson and Noel Leo Erskine.

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase copies of the book and have them signed by the author following the presentation. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Morgan County Library, and registration is not required, making it an accessible and engaging opportunity for anyone interested in Georgia history, architecture, and cultural heritage.
