In this book, Walsh argues that the early Christians' success was due to their humble approach to faith. He compares the early Christians to a plant that is watered with care and love, but is also allowed to grow freely. The early Christians were able to thrive in a hostile environment because they did not try to force their beliefs on others, but rather allowed others to come to their faith on their own. This approach allowed the early Christians to build a community that was able to survive despite persecution. Walsh provides evidence from both scripture and history to support his argument.; Ex-Libris; 8vo ; 256 pages.
