Loved it! Lots of great ideas for growing closer to God in Lent with the background and the author’s viewpoint on prayer, fasting and alms giving.

With rich historical context that is at once comprehensive and highly readable, When the Church Was Young is the perfect primer for any Christian.

I have read other books on the early Church and early Church Fathers and they were fine, but this book brings both to life.
