Church History Made Simple, Not Simplistic
By B.D.
A masterful compression of 2,000 years of Church History into easy to digest chapters, leaving the reader with a balanced, thorough, yet concise overview of the 'highlights' and even some 'lowlights'. It's almost like taking a tour of many of Christian Civilization's great moments, meeting real heroes of the faith and having everything put into a Biblical and contemporary perspective with a friendly narrator by your side. It definitely achieves its stated goal of making history user-friendly and helps the reader see how life in the 21st Century fits into the complex flow of Civilization. One comes away knowing The God of History is in complete control, each ordinary member of Christ's Body can make a difference and, despite worldwide persecution, Western Civilization's moral free-fall, and many challenges and battle defeats, God will ensure that the War will be won. More Scripture references would have been helpful to provide a sharper Biblical perspective of how History is His Story. An excellent supplement is the author's website,listed inside: [...] with study questions, chapter outlines and great links for further research. This book will change your thinking, change your outlook and perspective on Heaven's involvement in earth's affairs, and change your life!

By A Customer
I thought this book was written very well. I love the way the author starts each chapter with a story from a character's point of view telling a story with the subject matter of that particular chapter. It was very easy reading and it was very hard to put down. There was a lot of really good historical information put together very nicely. I give this book definete thumbs up for everyone, even laymen readers as myself!

Product Description
God's Church will prevail and prosper, even as we enter into the unknown of a new millennium that promises more hostility than ever toward believers in Christ. This inspirational new book shows how the Church has prospered through the ages in the face of cultural change, internal disputes and political persecution. But rather than a dry history lesson, this is a scintillating tale of international intrigue, miraculous intervention, courage, tragedy, martyrdom and ultimate triumph-an epic adventure told with warmth, humor and suspense. Featuring the men and women who lived and died to preserve and spread the gospel to every nation, this is a glorious testament to the continual supernatural working of the hand of God in human affairs, culminating with what God is now doing around the world.
