Many (but not all) the magazines listed below are available on Archive.org and have no restrictions. The publisher Christian History Institute is a non-profit organization and I highly recommend subscribing to Christian History Magazine for their edifying and inspiring articles.

This page is not a discussion of this topic but is to make you aware of an excellent and relatively succinct study of church history over her first centuries. The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible (freely available at archive.org) has an excellent discussion of this topic and it is very readable. The index is listed below and following that is one example from the third century.
This page on Christian Biographies begins with an article written by a pastor I have come to love and respect as a "2 Timothy 4:2+ man," one who preaches the Word in season and out of season, producing expositions that are always faithful to the inspired Word of God. It is with that confidence that I have included Pastor Cole's excellent article which answers the question you may be asking "Why read Christian biographies instead of the Bible?" Good question, but I think you will find an answer to your question as you read his short article.
NOTE: Please see the new page on Christian Biographies with many more resources than are on this page, including many biographies which can be borrowed from archive.org.
Note: These sermons represent an overview of the life of Paul in the book of Acts through Acts 21.
