Introduction by Richard Walker:
The story of the church is a wonderful story. It ought to be
told in story form. It took the planning of God, the work of the
prophets, the agency of angels and the death of Jesus to bring it
about. It did not happen by accident. God used many godly
men to bring it about.
Men like John the Baptist, the apostles Peter and Paul gave
their best efforts to make the church a reality. It came about
over a period of hundreds of years. The story begins in the Old
Testament and is continued in the New Testament.
I have spent the better part of my life as a member of the
church, and it has taken me nearly two years to tell the story. It
had been the desire of my wife that I write something about the
church and I have used the time since her death to do so.
