Book of Acts Pamphlet

STRENGTHS: A geographical outline of Acts and the progress of the gospel message (from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria, and to the ends of the earth). How the Gospel was articulated in the early church. The primary emphases of the main speeches or sermons given. Gods mission to the world. Highlights of Pauls missionary journeys. All well done.

A curious ABSENCE: While detailing the main characters of the story God and Jesus among other key human persons Stephen, Peter, and Paul there is a peculiar absence in describing more fully the work of the Holy Spirit in Acts!

The Holy Spirit is mentioned about 60 times in the book of Acts. The book of Acts is sometimes described as the Acts of the Holy Spirit, or even more fully, The acts of the risen Christ by the Holy Spirit in and through the apostles.

Some big ideas in Acts that could have been included: The Holy Spirit fills us and fills us again. The Holy Spirit speaks to us. The Holy Spirit empowers us to do what he want us to do.

The beginning of Christianity and the early church, this pamphlet on the Book of Acts connects Gods plan from the beginning to the time of the Holy Spirit like tongues of fire rested on the heads of the disciples in a crowded room.

The Mission to the World, with short articles about the main characters of Acts: God, Jesus, Stephen (the first martyr) and the ways that the Holy Spirit equipped Peter and Paul to fulfill their calling.

I love this easy to understand, fully illustrated pamphlet with the outlines (with scripture verses), charts, biblical map, and time lines that bring the bible to life. This is a superb companion to your own bible study of Acts, or to help you answer questions in a group study.

The Book of Acts is not only ancient history. It is our story as we were called to be Gods people. I would highly recommend you add this study of the Book of Acts to your bible library.
