On This Day in Christian History by Robert J. Morgan


I enjoy having a little structure to my daily reading, so I thought this would be a great book for my habit.

The book (typical of “On This Day...” books) is structured by date - a perfect fit for a daily reading plan.  Each day’s reading includes a short ‘article’ about a significant event, as well as a short scripture reading.  Also, you can find articles on specific topics (e.g., Courage, Mentors, Time Management, etc.) using the index.

Morgan has mastered the ability to shares the key facts and significant points in one-page. As a result, the reader quickly gains insight on significant challenges faced by Christians and and the sacrifices made. The stories are inspiring, but frequently tragic - after all, martyrs have played a significant role in Christian history.  As a result, the daily article will not leave the reader up-beat.

I would recommend this book, to history lovers who want a private, daily dose of Christian history, and a few minutes of reflection.  You might want to pick something different, if you’re looking for a daily devotion to share with the kids before school.
