About Brenda Martin
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I love to study and have made a point of finding out all there is to know about Early Christianity,how it was founded, and why,what happened after it was established,where it all went wrong, and why Christianity is struggling today.Having been a protestant I can give you its history, and now being one of Jehovah`s witnesses I can give you its history also.

Experience
I have been speaking to people about this for over 30 years so that has given me experience.
