The Story of the Church

I panned the seller of this used book on the basis of failure to deliver.However there was a mix up in the instructions and the Christmas holiday mailing schedule. Big foot Intergaltic did their best to complete my order. Therefore I feel they did go the extra mile in providing the order to my satisfaction. I therefore wish to chang my rting to at least a #4

2000 years of convoluted church history clearly condensed into one slim paperback - an amazing achievement. I know no better sweep of the centuries which packs in all the major events in the life and times of the body of God which an evangelical Christian would be interested to know about. It really packs it in, yet does not lose readability. And knowledge of world history is not essential for understanding this book. It has an almost outrageously ambitious aim, and in my opinion it succeeds. Naturally, it has biases, since it has to take a view as to what is important enough to include, and it has an inevitable Western emphasis, but for me these minor faults are more than off-set by the quick, broad scope it offers.
