Study This Book March 13, 2010
M. A. Pitcher (IL, USA)
I read through this book to get a gauge as to whether or not to use it for a Bible Study group we have in our home. I was delighted as I went through its pages and was able to put together a mental timeline of doctrine development, church fathers. persecutions and important events and people. It is a very easy to understand history and will help anyone who is interested in learning about church history.
Christian History Made Easy: 13 Weeks to a Better Understanding of Church History January 8, 2010
Carmen Tsang (Hong Kong)
Very good to provide a framework of major events in Christian history. Then you can fill the details with other books. It is a good work to start with. There are some questions set for reflection and discussion.
A great overview. December 21, 2009

I will soon be teaching a class on Church History. In preparation I am reading several books, but a friend recommended that I start with this one. That was a wise suggestion. This book gives a great overview, highlighting most of the major events and personalities; so it served well to lay a basic framework to which I am adding with further study. (It was also a quick way to refresh my memory of all that stuff I crammed into my head during my Church History course in Bible college.) It lacks a lot of details--but that's the point of the book. Sometimes, on very minor issues, Jones seems to disagree with some of the more scholarly works; but Jones is no dummy and his perspective could very well be the accurate one. The down side is that the research is poorly documented as he rarely cites his sources. Over all, this was a very quick, practical and helpful read for my purposes.

Christian History Made Easy is an informative book, using various medias for those with different learning types, and often inserts the right amount of humor at the right time. Some of the definitions or explanations have answered questions we have had for years. There are questions at the end of each chapter to embed the information in the brain and possibly helps to extract the important information you will want to remember. My husband and I use the book as our Bible study together and we both love it! The suggested timelines and pamphlets also add a touch of interest to the book information. I highly recommend this book whether you consider yourself a history buff or not.
GREAT BOOK,HISTORY CAN BE FUN! October 13, 2009
Ginny in Virginia (Richmond, Virginia)
From the moment I saw the title of this book I thought it would be a great book to read.I am an instructor at my Church so I use it to learn and to teach my adult students who vary in age and knowledge. History can be boring to some but this book helps me to provide fun ways to present the material.I would recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about Christian History. Also it is very inexpensive which is very important to my students who are taking more than one class.Dr.Jones has certainly made it an easy to read book chocked with a wealth of knowledge. It is a great reference book with loads of websites. The book suggested prior to finding this treasure was over 300 pages and not half as interesting. I know I will keep this as a reference book even when the class is over.
