"From the Roman Empire to the Reformation, St. Valentine to St. Francis, Martin Luther to Billy Graham, On this Day introduces readers to a parade of preachers, popes, martyrs, heroes, and saints from 2,000 years of Christianity" (Thomas Nelson).
This is a very wholesome, intriguing book, with plenty of information and discovery included. I enjoyed the "on this day" format; it makes it exciting to open the book to say, October 11, and find a piece of history that happened on October 11.
This is a great book for family reading, personal exploration, or for-fun reading. It would also make a really nice Christmas gift, since it does start on January 1. I know that I will enjoy reading it again at the start of the new year, discovering more about Christian history, Christ-like living, and real people who gave their all for Jesus.

I was not paid to review this book.
I was asked to give my honest opinon of this book,
and Thomas Nelson Publishers in no way influenced my review.
Hey, this sounds like a really neat book! Probably something I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about having so many school assignments and not being able to write... I feel the same way, in fact I had some extra homework in my school that I wasn't expecting this month... along with extra "job" work that has come up... I certainly have not gotten the writing done that I would have liked. Really, just a little bit has been done. Oh well... we're sorta in the same boat together!
I'd like to encourage you though to write in any extra moment of the day that have. Hopefully this weekend you might get a tidbit of spare time? Use it. =D
God bless,
