5 Minutes in Church History, New from Stephen Nichols and Reformation Trust

3 Min Read

The history of the church is filled with stories. Stories of triumph, stories of defeat, stories of joy, and stories of sorrow. In 5 Minutes in Church History, Dr. Stephen Nichols provides forty snapshots of the church through the centuries. You’ll meet fascinating saints, travel to curious places, examine precious artifacts, and watch as surprising turns of events unfold.

This lively and informative journey not only captures the richness of Christian history, but also reveals a record of God’s providence and faithfulness to His people. It’s a story to encourage, challenge, and even entertain. This is our story—our family history. 

“One of the great dangers the church faces is moving into the future without being firmly anchored in the past. It is essential that as we look forward we also look back, and for this reason I'm especially thankful for Stephen Nichols. He has deep knowledge, a skilled pen, and a contagious enthusiasm. I highly recommend his book and the podcast from which it originated.”
