Favorite Quote: "Despite widespread and determined efforts to eliminate the new faith, it survived and grew.
Taking this class on Church History rocked me! This book helped me to learn about the 1900 years of Church History that I really had no clue about.
I remember one night an Elder called me while I was reading this book and as we were talking I told him that I am ashamed. I was ashamed that I have been a Christian for twelve years and was so ignorant about the leaders who paved the way before me.
This book was great to learn about so many spiritual leaders and the impact they had on shaping the Church as we know it. It was fun to see the impact of the monks, the dark ages, the church fathers, the Catholic church and every other significant point of history that brought us to where we are. If you haven't read a book on Church History consider reading this one.
