“And the Gates of Hades shall not prevail against it”~Matthew 16:18 Withstanding outside persecutions, and fighting heresies from within, the Church has continued to struggle to survive and transform the world around her. A selection of short stories of the major people and events from the time of the Apostles on, are retold here in an engaging style that will inspire as well as inform. Writings from reknowned authors of the 19th century, who especially loved to excite their younger audience with stories of faith, struggle and triumph, are gathered together, arranged in chronological order.

Luckily, John was not a stupid child; he used his eyes and ears, and picked up, one way and another, a surprising deal of knowledge, and his parents took care that he went regularly to church. Things went on in this manner till John was nine, and then one day a knock was heard at the house door, and he was bidden by his mother to open it.
