Three hundred pages for a history of the Church? Too little. But just enough to trace concisely the main features of the Church over the centuries. This book speaks of events, documents, stories, and prophecies, of sins and holiness, which allow us to discern truth from falsehood, distinguish between anti-Catholic propaganda and the actual reality of the Church.
