Revolution: The Story of the Early Church - The First Seventeen Years

This book was influential in shaping my views on church and the christian community as a college student in the 80's. I have now purchased it again for my high school kids to read. You won't be disappointed.

I read this book about 10 years ago and the memory of it has not left my mind. Being a person ver particular about what I read, seeing that there are all manner of "voices" in the world, I found this book to be tremendously enriching. As a matter of fact, A boirrowed a friend of mine and he has refused to give it back to me. since it was a gift, I did not know how to get it back and was just snooping around looking for someting else when I discovered the book. Now if you really, really are interested in deeper understanding of the walk with Christ, please try and get this book together with a host of other books he has written. You will not regret it!!!!!!!

WARNING!Don't read this book unless: * You have at least two uninterrupted hours because you won't put it down.

The challenges,dilemas, and victories of the apostles and the first church fathers are brought to life in unexpected ways with fresh insight. * You are hungry for more of God and less of the ritual, formality, and dead, stale churchiness which passes for worship in too many of our churches in our generation.If you meet these three criteria, then you will blessed. Prepare to look at your church in a whole new way!
