The first Christians didn’t live in an easy or comfortable world.
They faced pressure, persecution, and confusion—and yet, they lived with conviction and joy that still inspires us today.
That’s why we’re so excited to share the release of James Papandrea’s "The Original Church: What it Meant—and Still Means—to Be a Christian."
This book isn’t just history—it’s a guide for us now. Inside, you’ll discover:
✦ How the very first Christians lived their faith day by day.
✦ Why the Church can develop without losing its roots.
✦ What it means to hold fast to truth in a shifting world.
Papandrea brings the early Church alive in a way that’s clear, relatable, and deeply relevant for modern Catholics (and seekers, too).
If you’ve ever wondered what makes the Catholic Church different? or how we can stay strong today?—this book is for you.
