Enjoyable for the Novice and the Expert of Church History,
By David P. Craig "Life Coach 4 God" (Tustin, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: This Day In Christian History: 366 Compelling Events in the History of the Church (Hardcover)
The stated purpose of this book by the editors is as follows: "It is our hope and prayer that these stories provide you with a sampling that at least suggests the incredible scope and reach of the Christian message, as well as the way that God has worked through an amazing diversity of individuals and institutions in countless circumstances. This volume offers one way to take the journey through our Christian past in a go-at-your-own-pace way that we hope we will stir your interest and fascination."
The book does this very thing - it makes you marvel at God's sovereignty and creativity in the various mysterious ways He works through individuals in all walks of life for His ultimate glory and unstoppable plan. From January 1st to December 31st there is a full page for each day of the year with the top event of historical significance related to the Christian church for each day of the year. Each page has three inserts which are in black and white - usually a photo related to the event or person described, and painting, map detail, or something else related to the person or event, as well as descriptions of 2-7 other important events that took place on this particular day in history. The end of the book contains a very helpful resources page for further study on any of the events, or people in the book, as well as very helpful subject index of dates, people, places, and events. I have taken four classes in Church History in Seminary and have read various books on Church History and still found that this book contained events and people I had never heard of. If you know a lot about church history, or know nothing at all - you will benefit from and thoroughly enjoy this wide-ranging panorama of God's work through peasants, pastors, missionaries, and Kings.

I don't know a whole lot about Christian history, so this book was really interesting to me. It has a lot of really great stories, and a great variety of people and events.
