This is a very useful book, I read it in about 30 minutes, it is very informative but also a very good referance book. Mr. Arthur gives some the best reasons to read church history, but also informs us of some things to watch for, this little book helped me to understand to how to take history with a grain of salt, but as he says be like the Bereans. Men are fallible, Thank you for such a special guide. Richard Jones
