Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
The book of Acts is a thrilling account of the early church discovering what it means to be Christian. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, they lived out a triumphant faith in the face of opposition and persecution, established order for the growing movement, and took the gospel to the ends of the earth. Encounter Acts through enlightening verse-by-verse commentary from Charles Ryrie that’s both straightforward and insightful.


My Review:
Acts is a slim book that basically summarized (in the author's own words) what happened in each group of verses. There's no point in reading this with Acts as you pretty much just get want's in the book of Acts. The author did include some background information about the book of Acts (when it was written, by whom, etc.) and occasionally included small bits of background information in the "commentary" on the verses. Still, it seemed more an overview of what happened in Acts rather than author comments and insights into the verses.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
