Title: Church history doesn't have to be dull!
Review: Everyone who has ever suffered through an interminable, poorly organized and ill-thought out sermon can be pardoned for suspecting that any book on ecclesiastical history would be as dull as a Wednesday night in Purgatory, and in most cases they would be right. However, every rule has an exception and in this case Triumph is that exception.In punchy prose Crocker surveys the history of the impact of the Catholic Church on human history. A convert, he not surprisingly finds that impact to be positive. This book is a useful contrast to a torrent of recent books written by bitter ex-catholics, de facto if not de jure, that pillory the Church for having standards that differ from those contained in the latest editorials of the New York Times.Considering the dearth of readable books on the subject, this book should be considered by every Catholic parent as must reading for themselves and their kids.
