On This Day contains random excerpts of Christian history presented in a calendar setting of 365 days. It is a book that is difficult to read in its entirety in one or two readings for it is a highly emotional book. The themes of the excerpts include, but not limited to, the institution of St. Valentine’s Day and images in church, the persecution and martyrdom of Christians, and wars between believers and unbelievers. Each day is presented with supporting Biblical authority, which is placed at the end of the excerpt.
I found On This Day to be very informative, inspirational, and exceedingly moving. I wish only that it would have contained a bibliography or reference index so that I could have conducted further research on the excerpts presented in it. However, I did research for other books of this nature by Robert J. Morgan, but found none. The reason I looked for his books was because I like his style. I hope he will do a series on this book, e.g., On This Day 2011, On This Day 2012, etc. ─ all about Christian history, until all Christian history has been exhausted. Robert J. Morgan, think about this!
