First of all, it’s history- we weren’t there, so we have to rely on the various recorded histories of the events. The further back we go, the more they will differ and the more inaccuracies there will be.

My short cameos are taken from extensive reading and study, but I can’t say it always happened exactly in the way I describe. I hope though, that in reading the stories you will see the value of Christian History and study more yourself. I give you a few suggested books at the end of each piece.

Here’s hoping these small stories always point to our amazingly big God.
