I wrote a devotional concerning the Apostle John that I found in his writings. https://www.worthydevotions.com/christian-devotional/anyone-can-be-restored-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another book like an encyclopedia called Martyrs Mirror. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/083611390X/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice second tier contender is "Christian History Made Easy," by Timothy Paul Jones. Stay Away from anything written by Diamand McCulloch, his book The History of the Church: The First Three Thousand Years is full of unbelief; it really should be called an Athiest's Apologetics Book.
