Turning Points
I love reading church history. And while this wasn't any where near my favorite book on Church History (that would be "The Story of Christianity" by Justo Gonzalez. Both volumes are FANTASTIC) - this could be a great book to give someone who wants to dive into church history and yet doesn't want to commit to a big book - as most church history books seem to be. The best part of this book is he focuses on 12 or so major events in the history of the church. So even the moderate observer will come away knowing about the biggies like Nicea, the Great Schism, Reformation Day, and the Act of Supremacy. I'd encourage the reader to skim where one is feeling bogged down. There are chapters I struggled through, and others I couldn't put down. Overall a quality resource.
