A WALK THROUGH HISTORY


(5 stars)

Great book! A walk through early Church history with some of the most notable people of the era. I imagine this would have been family reading before the days of radio and TV. The author doesn't flinch before some of the harsher realities of human nature, but shows us the flaws as well as the strengths of these characters. For good or ill, these folks greatly shaped the very culture that allows me to listen to these narratives without cost anywhere, anytime, any place.

interesting


(2.5 stars)

This is a subject of interest as I am a Christian but is writen with a humanistic worldview and so practically spoiled. The readers do a good job.

Interesting Book


(4.5 stars)

well written and well delivered by all readers!

VERY PEDESTRIAN


(2.5 stars)

Simplistic sketches of these men may serve to pique interest in them, but the offhand inclusion of famous, but often unsubstantiated, myths detracts from the books usefulness. Nevertheless, it does serve as an introduction to these sometimes overlooked personages. The readers all did fine jobs.

Good book, good readers.
