Great History

I absolutely loved this book. It's one that, if I could, I would take with me to the ocean and spend however long it would take me to slowly enjoy it while sitting on the beach listening to the water break on the shore in the background. But I'm a Christian History lover.

If you're not into history and, specifically, Christian history then you might still find this interesting since we were not taught much of any of this in the government-controlled atheist school system I attended from 1974-1987 and I doubt it's improved since. You will say, "Wow. Didn't know that." And then, "Lord have mercy, I had no idea..."

I actually read an edition put out without ISBN or ASIN, sold by Local Church Bible Publishers. The content is the same as the one referenced here by Goodreads. It is an attractive green with gold lettering and trim. A facsimile that is very readable, including a golden yellow ribbon marker.

But if you're one of those people who don't have to have a hard copy edition in your hands (even when utilizing Kindle or Audio), then you can read it for free here: https://archive.org/details/CrossAndC...
