Fast-paced and focused on major leaders and movements, this book gives a helpful introduction to the history of the church in bite-size portions. Through the ages, God's Story reminds us that history is His story-the account of God's works among His people.

This is a very good book, easy to grab hold of. Parents should put this in front of their children, read it with them and discuss the attributes of God and the sinfulness of man that are always on display. This latter ought remind that none but Jesus does helpless sinners good. Flee to Him. This book shows us the way.
