“Mark Terry skillfully summarizes the main currents of 2000 years of proclaiming the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a valuable study and research tool.”

“There is a silver cord binding the church together through time, reaching back to the original heartbeat of the founder of our faith. It is a passion for souls the passion that look Christ to the cross, inflamed the first disciples and still leads believers today to plead that they see this world through their Father’s eyes. Mark Terry has performed a valuable service in tracing that heritage through almost 2000 years of unbroken evangelistic effort. May God raise up more ‘gap men’ (as Moody coined the term) to maintain the continuity into the Twenty-First Century.”
