Robert Fulghum list three simple things in his book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. The first is put things back where you found them. Another thing he mentioned was to play and work some every day. The last was to hold hands and stick together. I honestly think if everyone followed these three simple rules it would enhance our lives. If people would put things back where they found them there would be less crime. Individuals would not have things stolen or lost. Another thing would be less worry if objects were where you left them. Just this one thing could really simplify important parts of one’s life. It is nice to play, but if individuals worked as much as they play we would have a much more efficient economy.

Robert M. Grant was an early church historian and professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School, he was an also an Episcopalian minister. Grant tells the reader in his preface that his work is not so much a history of the early church as it is a “venture into the reconstruction of early Christian practicality. ” According to the author, the book was written to contrast the mythical and romanticize vision of the early church which, too often is associated with accounts of the early church.
