This Just In — Villains of the Church: And How They Made Us Better Christians by Mike Aquilina

This book just in. Here's why to read it:

The villains of the ancient world proved the mettle of heroes like Peter and Paul, Irenaeus and Athanasius. Treachery and adversity inspired the Fathers' clearest teaching, most entertaining invective, and more than a few memorable jokes.

I'm looking forward to learning some good lessons from this one. A full report after I've read it, but it's Mike Aquilina so I know it's going to be good.
