My Review of On This Day in Christian History

On This Day In Christian History: 365 Amazing and Inspiring Stories about Saints, Martyrs, and Heroes by Robert Morgan has a story for each day of the year. Although I have not read the entire book, I have read several weeks worth of stories. I was happy to find a creative blend of stories ranging from sobering to inspiring to even humorous. There were some stories that brought tears to my eyes and others that made me left me in awe at the price that others had paid for their faith. The stories range from the early church to the current century. Robert Morgan has done an excellent job providing a variety of characters and events from history. When I first started to read the book, I wasn't sure if all of the illustrations would be serious or if I would be bored, however, I have been pleased with how interesting this book has been. My husband and I both read each day's story in the evenings. I would highly recommend this book for any Christian that loves history. The book is an excellent tool that shares the heritage of so many of the saints of the Christian faith. I also appreciated the Scripture references that went along with each day's story. This book will be useful for families with older children who are looking for devotional stories to share with their children to give them a knowledge of how their faith should not be taken for granted and to give them heroes to look up to. There are many great discussion opportunities that can be derived from this book. I received a copy of this book for review from Thomas Nelson Publishers and was not obligated to have a positive opinion of it, however, I have greatly enjoyed it so far.
