Tank and the Harbingers team have faced strange and frightening things in the past. This might be the strangest. Every trial they've faced, they've faced together, but now they don't even recognize each other-or themselves. Tank awakens on a bed in a small room. He doesn't know where he is. Worse, he doesn't know who he is. The image in the mirror is that of a stranger wearing a tuxedo. Before long, Tank learns that he's on an old style cruise ship-a powerless vessel adrift on a flat ocean, lost in a gray fog that blankets everything under the flat gray sky. Tank doesn't like the fog. Or the ship that periodically shuffles its decks. Soon, Tank learns that he's not the only being on the mystery ship. He begins to wish he was.

In rich prose and spanning twenty centuries of church history, these engaging narratives range from the well-known to the obscure, highlighting personalities such as Josephus, Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, Galileo, John Calvin, Blaise Pascal, Jonathan Edwards, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, William Wilberforce, G. K. Chesterton, and many others. Readers will feel the past come alive and mingle in their minds with the present state of the Church, encouraging and galvanizing them to live their own faith courageously in our time--and shape the Church of the future.

The church of today did not appear on the earth fully formed but developed over the centuries through historical events that, while they may seem distant, have a direct effect on our everyday lives. Following Jesus's command to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth, the apostles and their spiritual descendants have grown the church through times of peace and times of war, through persecution and pilgrimage. The church that began as a rag-tag group of Middle Eastern fishermen, tax collectors, and zealots became the multi-ethnic, multifaceted church of today.Now thirty of those course-altering events are brought to life by consummate storyteller Alton Gansky. Spanning twenty centuries of history, this lively book will entertain and educate readers who love history and who want to know why the church is the way it is today.
