Step Three in The Great Adventure Bible Study Program, Adventures in the Spread of the Kingdom, builds on The Bible Timeline and Adventures in Matthew by showing how Christ s Kingdom on earth is empowered to carry out his work in the world. The book of Acts shows the Church, enlivened by the Holy Spirit, teaching, preaching, healing, and restoring outcasts in the same way that Jesus did on earth. The Acts of the Apostles provides an historic framework for understanding the rest of the New Testament. Paul s letters in particular come alive in a new way when they are read within the context of the Acts narrative. 20 discs, Audio CDRun 50 minutes/ Ascension Jeff Cavins
After twelve years as a Protestant pastor, Jeff returned to the Catholic Church under the guidance of Bishop Paul Dudley. His conversion story, one of the best known and inspiring stories of its kind, is chronicled in the best-selling book, My Life on the Rock.
Over the past several decades, Jeff has dedicated his life to developing The Great Adventure: A Journey through the Bible, a practical, interactive program that helps people read the “big picture” of God’s plan in Sacred Scripture and understand its meaning for their lives. The Great Adventure presents the entire sweep of the Bible in a way that is easy to understand and genuinely fun. Its unique Bible Timeline learning system has revolutionized Catholic Bible Study for hundreds of thousands of Catholics since 1995.
Jeff received his MA in Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville.
This bible study is wonderful. I learned more about how the Holy Spirit guides the Church and how the Apostles spread the Word of God to the Jews and the Gentiles.
