The Tiny Church
The Church Jesus Started, Peter Preached, the Apostles Built, and the World Forgot
I wanted to know what the church Peter, James, and John belonged to actually looked like, so I opened Acts 2 and kept reading. The Tiny Church is what came out of it. It walks through the first church, follows how it drifted over the centuries, and shows the way back to a church that fits in a living room.
The whole book is free to read online. No sign-up, no email, nothing to buy.
