STORY OF THE CHURCH Paperback Book Written by L.C. Rudolph Illustrated by Lewis Parker Over 190 pages Copyright © 1966 by Marshall C. Dendy " God is the one who began this story. He began it by making everything that is. God loves what he has made; he cares for all things and for all his people. Even when we may seem to others and to ourselves to be all bad, God loves us. When we are such slaves of sins that there appears to be little hope, God acts to cleanse and redeem us. " " That is what God did when he chose and called a people. He fulfilled his promise through that people - through Abraham who trusted God and through Moses who led God's people out of Egypt and through the prophets who spoke for God. " " Abraham and Moses and the prophets and the people of biblical times all died. But God did not die. He has kept on calling saints and sinners, mixed people like us, century after century. He has called us and changed us and worked out his mighty plan in us. That is what he is doing today. " Contents include: " 1. From Bible Times 2. Rivals of Christ 3. Fight for Life 4. Growing Up 5.
