same as other reviewers...would have liked more world wide coverage but an excellent book and I bought another for a friend...so ...that is it and intend to buy other copies as gifts...good 'advertising' for those who are living in an anti Christian world..

This book is extremely interesting and inspiring. It will remain in my library for years to come as a wonderful reference.

Excellent read. There is no other book that looks at Christianity's effect on the world and where we would have been without Christ. Not a dry textbook. It belongs on every shelf.

This is an excellent book. Every chapter presents a treasure trove of well documented, relevant facts. Each chapter could easily be developed into a book or several books by itself. I've purchased multiple copies to give to friends and educators.

With such a bold title one expects a great deal, and, although the book doesn't quite deliver to convince us of worldwide change, it ably shows how the Christian moral system has restrained the evil in societies such as the Roman Empire. This is valuable to discover and I thank the author for making this argument and doing so persuasively. One can put this thesis another way: how God has restrained evil in this world as he has shown he is in control and will carry out his will, using believers as he works.
