I just received this book from my mother...she's had it but doesn't really like history and she read a little bit of it to me over the phone so she promised I could have it the next time I saw her which was about 2 weeks ago before I came overseas.

"A quick look at the history of the Church, offering much food for thought...Written in a conversational narrative very much in touch with the outlook and questions posed by 21st-century Catholics...always highlighting the constant struggle to live as Christ's disciples while living in a culture which finds the Gospel foreign. With a timeline that is well worth the price of the book..." - Crux
