Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Acts, as recorded in the Bible, records the events surrounding the birth of the Church and its growth in the first century. This book is written in a format which speaks to the events of Acts and how it relates to us today. This is not a commentary but does have some commentary type writing in it. The purpose of this book is to encourage readers to look at this book of New Testament history and understand how it applies to our Christian lives in the 21st Century. The reader can learn how the Church was started and its purpose in this world. It moves chapter by chapter through Acts and discusses the events and characters which are important in the way they were used by God. For Christians, the Book of Acts is an important record of Church beginnings and growth. We can look around at the Church today and see the many differences from then until now. This book expounds on the way the Church operated in the first century and how it pertains to us, as Christians, today. The theme which should never change is the gospel message even though that message has been set aside in many churches today. This is also addressed in this book.
