Book Summary

Through thirty-three objects, Tim Challies explores the history of what God is accomplishing in this world, whether through princes or peasants, triumph or trial. Each object offers a tangible link between the present and the past, between the Christians of the 21st century and those who lived and died in centuries past.

About the Book

33 fascinating objects. 1 amazing story. Join author and pastor Tim Challies as he embarks on a three-year journey, taking you to some of the most unusual places in the world.

"Together we will listen to these voices of the past tell us the epic story of what God has done and continues to do in our world today." - Tim Challies
