Round the Sphere Again 

A church history—or maybe not—edition.

See update below!

Octavius Winslow
You may have read many Winslow quotes, but I bet you don’t know much about the man, do you? Here’s good news, then: There’s a new blog dedicated to placing “in one site all information known about Octavius Winslow” where you’ll find biographical information, quotes, and more.

Irish Puritans
Kim Shay explains some of the reasons why spreading the gospel in Ireland was so difficult for the Puritans.

The Puritans, at the very core of their beliefs, wanted to promote the pure gospel of Jesus Christ.  This was hard to do in Ireland given not only the mix of individuals, but also given the animosity that was directed against the English.

Now go read the whole post.

Thank you SO MUCH for the link to the Octavius Winslow site. Octavius is dear, long time friend. So glad to have the opportunity to learn more about him and read more of his writings. You've made my week. Possibly my whole year!!!

We used the book Sketches of Church History when we homeschooled. It really is a great book. There was an accompanying workbook as well, which my sons used.
