Trace the Church's growth from the earliest Christians to you!

If you could travel back to the early days of the Church, would you recognize it? In this highly readable introduction to the roots of many Catholic beliefs and practices, Mike Aquilina makes it clear that as far as the essentials are concerned, a time-travel trip would reveal a Church familiar to Catholics today. Written in a very accessible style, this book helps the person-in-the-pew see that the life of the early Church and the Church today are very similar, offering a sense of connection to our brothers and sisters who have gone before us and who helped shape the faith.
