As a professor of church history, the author learned quickly how to engage his students by making the learning of history fun, interesting and rewarding. In this book, the author uses his lessons learned in the classroom to engage the layperson as well. This publication spans the last two millennia, ranging from the ascension of Christ to the present. It covers over 200 historical men, women and events, with each being addressed as a separate snapshot in 500 words or less. Each snapshot contains fascinating tidbits that the ordinary history books fail to mention. Finally, the book also has indexes in the back that allow the reader to return to the publication time and again as a trusted reference.
