About the Book

33 fascinating objects. 1 amazing story. Join author and pastor Tim Challies as he embarks on a three-year journey, taking you to some of the most unusual places in the world. From pulpits to paintings, the labor of monks to the martyrdom of missionaries, this film is an immersive travelogue introducing you to 33 key objects that tell the history of Christianity and complementing the Epic book. Beginning with Jesus and the early church, Challies looks at: The importance of graffiti on an ancient jail cell The creedal significance of a carving on a museum statue The enduring importance of ancient manuscripts and books And much more! Along the way, you'll discover the story you're already a part of. "Together we will listen to these voices of the past tell us the epic story of what God has done and continues to do in our world today." - Tim Challies
