5 Minutes in Church History: An Introduction to the Stories of God's Faithfulness in the History of the Church
The history of the church is filled with stories. Stories of triumph, stories of defeat, stories of joy, and stories of sorrow. These stories are a legacy of God's faithfulness to His people. In this book, Dr. Stephen J. Nichols provides postcards from the church through the centuries. These snapshots capture the richness of Christian history with glimpses of fascinating saints, curious places, precious artifacts, and surprising turns of events. In exploring them, Dr. Nichols takes the reader on a lively and informative journey through the record of God's providence to encourage, challenge, and enjoy. This is our story--our family history.
"THE CENTURIES OF CHURCH HISTORY GIVE US A LITANY OF GOD'S DELIVERANCES. GOD HAS DONE IT BEFORE, MANY TIMES AND IN MANY WAYS, AND HE CAN DO IT AGAIN. HE WILL DO IT AGAIN. AND IN THAT, WE FIND COURAGE FOR TODAY AND FOR TOMORROW."
Dr. Stephen J. Nichols is president of Reformation Bible College, chief academic officer for Ligonier Ministries, and a Ligonier Ministries teaching fellow.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“One of the great dangers the church faces is moving into the future without being firmly anchored in the past. It is essential that as we look forward we also look back, and for this rea- son I’m especially thankful for Stephen Nichols. He has deep knowledge, a skilled pen, and a contagious enthusiasm. I highly recommend his book and the podcast from which it originated.”
Tim Challies

“The history of the church needs to be taught in various ways, and the form of this book—pithy stories and their lessons, what Stephen Nichols calls ‘postcards’—is ideal for many who find themselves too busy to read larger chunks of text. Dr. Nichols is a master of this method, having honed his skill in composing these pieces for his podcast. Ideal for all who love church his- tory—busy and not so busy.”
Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin
Chair and professor of church history The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
“Church history began for me with just five minutes. Little quests to learn the origin or background of an important period in history. Five minutes turned into ten minutes, then hours, and finally a career in church history. But it never has to be more than five minutes. A short excursion into our Christian heritage is always worth the effort—far better than never exploring these stories. Stephen Nichols has written a book, not for the long haul, but to give all readers the chance to know this heritage.”
Dr. Ryan M. Reeves
Associate professor of historical theology Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Jacksonville, FL
