This collection of short articles, written in simple language, is an easy read and a great way to learn about the main events and people in the history of the Schwarzenau Brethren churches (German Baptist Brethren, Church of the Brethren, Brethren, Grace Brethren, etc).

It shares telling scenes from the lives of important folks in that history - some funny, some poignant - that help you remember both the people, as well as the events and principles, that shaped Brethren history in each time period.
