“Every Christian ought to be a good historian, and if his knowledge of history be improved by him as it ought, the better historian he is, the better Christian will he be.” This pithy remark by eighteenth-century Baptist leader, Caleb Evans, was delivered in a sermon calling “ordinary” Christian to read history and remember it, for in truth they were surrounded by its impact day after day. This weekly reader is designed to help you become “a good historian” in the way that Evans desired. These 52 weekly reflections, each of which takes but a few minutes to read, are a reminder of how important history—in this case, actually, church history—is for the believer.

‘These are great short devotional stories from the history of the Christian Church. Definitely needed in our age because most Christians don’t know the Holy Scriptures and definitely don’t know how the Church has stood up throughout the ages. I highly recommend these as a starter for looking further into the Kingdom of GOD!’ Grady Adams
