God used one ruler to change the future of Rome and Christianity in Rome forever.What made him different than all the rulers before him? Why would he undertake such a task?In the pages of this book, you will walk with this man through one of the most amazing periods in the growth and preservation of Christianity in the western world.Based on historical events and Constantine's letters, you will walk through the time from before his birth to his death, through the meteoric cultural changes of the day. In the pages of this book, you will experience the events that guided the path of a man who came to be known as "Constantine the Great."Much has been written about Constantine over the centuries. Some believe him to be a Christian saint while some believe him to be an agnostic ruler protecting Christians only for political reasons. This writing attempts only to introduce you to Constantine the man, who or what shaped him, what he believed and fought for based on his own writings, and the world-changing actions he took during his reign.Whatever you believe, Constantine should be known for what he accomplished. He saved Christianity in the Roman Empire and, in that, changed the western world forever. Constantine created fertile ground for Christians and Christianity to flourish in the western world, just as God intended.
