The Book of Acts, John Stott believes, is important not only for its
vivid historical record. It is also vital for the inspiration which it
brings us now. Today's Church can seek to recapture something of the early
confidence, enthusiasm, vision and power that the church of the first
century had.
Despite all its imperfections and troubles, the young church
clearly had been overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit, who thrust it out to
witness.
John Stott's study of Acts:
opens
up the Bible text accuralety in a readable, non-technical way
applies
it to the issues of everyday life now
offers
a powerful resource for many uses - daily Bible study,
sermon
or lesson preparation, Bible Study groups.
