Synopsis: BACK TO THE FUTURE! Hope for tomorrow from the church's yesterdays It has been said that history repeats itself because no one is listening. But the truth is that history repeats itself because through it God is speaking, for those who want to hear. This book will help those tuning their ears to His voice to trace it through almost two thousand years of church history. From the Roman Empire and the Crusades to the Reformation and the rise of Islam, Frank Lanza shows how despite persecution from without and struggles within, the church has survived because it is part of &“a grand divine plan.&” This brisk history reveals the ways in which God has protected and shepherded His church so that it can stand victorious against an ultimate challenge to His reign. You will find renewed hope for tomorrow from a clearer view of God's ways in the past.
