The history of the church is filled with stories. Stories of triumph, stories of defeat, stories of joy, and stories of sorrow. In this book, Dr. Stephen J. Nichols provides snapshots of the church through the centuries. You’ll meet fascinating saints, travel to curious places, examine precious artifacts, and watch as surprising turns of events unfold. This lively and informative journey not only captures the richness of Christian history, but also reveals a record of God’s providence and faithfulness to His people. It’s a story to encourage, challenge, and even entertain. This is our story—our family history.

"One of the great dangers the church faces is moving into the future without being firmly anchored in the past. It is essential that as we look forward we also look back, and for this reason I’m especially thankful for Stephen Nichols. He has deep knowledge, a skilled pen, and a contagious enthusiasm. I highly recommend his book and the podcast from which it originated."
"Church history began for me with just five minutes. Little quests to learn the origin or background of an important period in history. Five minutes turned into ten minutes, then hours, and finally a career in church history. But it never has to be more than five minutes. A short excursion into our Christian heritage is always worth the effort—far better than never exploring these stories. Stephen Nichols has written a book, not for the long haul, but to give all readers the chance to know this heritage."
