Growing U – Church History books
My teammate Ethan Magness loaned me 2 good books that I’m using as prep for MCC’s Making More & Better Disciples in the Church History.
Church History: an Essential Guide by Justo L Gonzalez
Church History in Plain Language by Bruce Shelley
MCC member (and former president of Lincoln Chr College – East Coast, and church history scholar) Dr Robin Underhill recommended Turning Points: Decisive Moments in Church History by Mark Noll
I confess the one I’m using the most is by my church history professor from Cincinnati Chr University, Dr James North A History of the Church from Pentecost to Present. While part of my reliance is probably sentimental, Dr North’s writing is accessible to everyday Christians, and he includes thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter.

Growing U – Church History weblinks
I’m way behind on posting, but I’ve just started teaching a new Growing U class on how the church made (or failed to make) more and better disciples through her history.
Here are a few links I’ve used to prep thus far:
Robertson’s Sketches of Church History
