The Faith That Shaped the World

From Roman roads to modern megachurches, from secret catacombs to star-shaped lanterns lighting the sky, the story of Christianity is full of twists, courage, mistakes, wonders, and unstoppable hope. This engaging book brings that story to life for kids ages 7 to 12-without fluff, lectures, or boring facts.

Packed with real people, daring moments, strange traditions, and surprising inventions, it helps kids see how ordinary believers shaped history by following Jesus in their own way. Readers will meet fearless girls who stood up to emperors, scientists who saw God in the stars, teens who stood for justice, and kids just like them who made a difference. They'll learn why Christians don't all worship the same way, what makes Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches unique, and how the Bible traveled across oceans and languages to reach their hands.

Funny, thoughtful, and written with honesty, this book doesn't avoid the hard parts-but it points to the hope and love that have kept the Church going for over 2,000 years. Whether kids are curious, confused, or already exploring their faith, this is a guide to the past that speaks to their present-and invites them to be part of what comes next.
