The images, maps, and diagrams are stunning and serve to further enhance the information presented. The book walks from the beginning, through battles and cultures, all the way through the formation of the early church. The explanations of the ties between history and Bible were wonderful. I read this book in preparation for a Bible study course for a group of homeschoolers. Definitely plan to add this to my personal reference collection.
