When does the story end?

Though the story of Christendom lives on, the books conclude with 9/11. The 20th Century heralded death and destruction on an unsurpassed scale, but Christians take solace that the Church is not only surviving, but thriving — just not in our backyard. Now massive Spirit-filled revivals are most often taking place throughout Asia, Africa and the lands that western missionaries just one century prior went to bring into the family of Christ.

Hundreds of thousands of people attend an all-night Pentecostal service held by the Redeemed Church of Christ on a highway in Lagos, Nigeria in October 2003. Because the congregations are so large, the services are often held outdoors in airplane hangars, although more recently megachurches, such as the fifty-thousand-seat Faith Tabernacle built by Bishop David Oyedepo have been built to accomodate the throngs.

Why were these books created?

Over the past two millennia medical and other scientific discoveries by Christians —  along with a desire to defend human dignity — have yielded better health and prosperity for all. Nevertheless, the Bible warns that our past repeats itself [Ecclesiastes 1:9]. Vigilantly remembering our Christian heritage serves to protect these benefits.
