Nice overview describing the connection to the reformation and other major movements.
Best quote, "we cannot escape tradition no matter how hard we might try; rather, we face the choice of being 'unconscious victims or conscious participants'" (p. 154).

A good historical summary of the churches of Christ, with good insight to historical connections with the Reformation.
It's a good way to get a basic understanding of how the different denominations came about.

Stumbled upon it by accident on-line.
This book shows how man has tried so many times to restore the primitive church since the Reformation. It's a good history book and provided me with a deeper gratitude for the good men who came over here and set up a free society for the gospel to eventually be restored. It may also help knowing what is in this book when talking to other Christians. Just a thought, the same goes with "Will the Real Heretics Please Stand up?"
took me forever to get through this, but it was a good history book. I enjoyed the last 3 chapters the best, after the Campbell/Stone stuff was through and they described other restorationist churches.
