A Commentary on Acts - David Pawson

Dr. Luke's second volume is a book of 'firsts': the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the first convert, the first healing, the first arrest and trial, the first deacons, the first martyr, the first persecution, the first Gentile mission and many more. It's the first-hand account of 'how they brought the news from Jerusalem to Rome' (to misquote Robert Browning), from the spiritual capital in the continent of Asia to the secular metropolis in Europe. Nothing can stop the spread of the gospel when the church is on fire! The founding fathers were beset by troubles which, under God's direction, were all turned into triumphs. Study of their exploits will leave you with some disturbing questions. Should our church be like this? Could it be? Above all, do I want it to be?
