The One Year Christian History

What happened on this date in church history? From ancient Rome to the twenty-first century, from peasants to presidents, from missionaries to martyrs, this book shows how God does extraordinary things through ordinary people every day of the year. Each story appears on the day and month that it occurred and includes questions for reflection and a related Scripture verse.

‘One doesn't have to be a history fan to grow to love this book. We have liked the One Year Bible so decided to try this product. Each day of the year has a clever title for an event in history related to that date. The events are well written in a two page format with an intro teaser sentence, body of the entry, and closing reflection. I gave this to my husband who has raised the level of "dog-earred" to new meaning. He won't part with his original filled with his notes and markings! It is literally falling apart and held together with rubber bands which he undoes each morning as he opens it to "spend time with his history friends". If one just reads the daily selection it can be finished in 5 minutes. If one marks it up it can take 15! An excellent gift as a regular reader will come away richer from seeing how God has worked in history through the ages. LOVE IT!’ Julie
