Introducing Acts

A Book for Today

by David Cook

Anyone who reads one of the four Gospels is bound to ask the question - What happened next? With Jesus Christ crucified, resurrected and ascended into Heaven we are left with a few men who not so long before scattered to the wind at the first sign of trouble. How did these men, with the help of the Holy Spirit, establish Christ's Church and begin spreading the Gospel? The book of Acts tells this story and this book will be a helpful introduction, giving you a good start in understanding the message it contains. Designed to accompany the more extensive also by David Cook, this short book will not take long to read, but will be a great help to all those seeking to better understand the book of Acts.

Reviews

[Becky · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent little book that gives the basic purpose and structure of Acts. The title summarizes the book well; it introduces Acts. Although it is short, the author doesn't waste words, and is very clear.

[Dave · Rating 4 out of 5]

Outstanding little primer on Acts! If you are teaching on Acts, or just want to understand it better, this book gives you a concise, yet meaty introduction.

[Benjamin · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excerpt from Cook's larger book, Teaching Acts. A very fine brief introduction to the Book of Acts. It whets the reader's appetite for the larger work.
