The history of the church is amazing! When Christians study it, they are continually revived, encourages, and challenged. In The Story of the Church, a complement to The Essential Bible Reference Library, readers follow the church from the beginning, through all of its failures as well as successes. Despite succumbing to the pressure of culture, the church has both survived and thrived. Sure to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
