The book of Acts is set within the larger story of the outworking of God’s plan to save for Himself a people from every nation––the story that runs from Genesis to Revelation. In Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts, author Nancy Guthrie provides an easy-to-read, theologically insightful guide to this important book in Scripture.
Saved is a chapter-by-chapter companion to the book of Acts that will help you more deeply understand how the Spirit of God was at work in the lives of the apostles in the days following the resurrection and ascension. In the first part of Saved, Guthrie looks closely at the apostle Peter and observes how the Holy Spirit transformed him and enabled him to powerfully preach the Gospel and build Christ’s church. In the second half, she focuses on the missionary work of the apostle Paul and the remarkable story of how the message of salvation spread from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and beyond.
You’ll learn how the early church took root and how the Holy Spirit transformed thousands to become followers of Jesus. You’ll also read about the widespread conversion of both Jews and Gentiles and learn how the Holy Spirit continues to work in the same way today.
Saved will help you better understand the key events and important themes in the book of Acts.
This is a must-have study companion to guide you skillfully through all twenty-eight chapters of Acts with helpful commentary and insights.
