Hi Matt,If you want a very simple church history book for 'idiots'then their is a new one calledGod and His People by James L. Garlowthis is very easy read and probably what you are looking for.After that try pilgrim Church which someone else mentioned, in my humble opinion this is one of the best concise books on the history of His Churchsimon
