Publisher's Description
How did Christianity spread from a small room of frightened Jewish believers in Jerusalem to a movement that would challenge and eventually overcome Rome, the center of first-century civilization? Capable scholars have written much about this phenomenon, and we are still experiencing its effects today. But to understand first-century Christianity we must begin in Acts--the inspired book itself, and not in outside scholarship. We must read it for ourselves. This devotional is an eighty-day study in Acts that guides you through the history, language, and culture of the first century and inculcates strong Bible study habits along the way. At the end you will have truly discovered Acts.

“Josh Wilson has put together a wonderful life-changing book that serves as both a devotional and study guide. He gives you just enough so you can understand what’s going on, but leads you to think for yourself about how to apply what Scripture teaches to your life. This book will help you navigate more challenging passages in the text and also ask penetrating questions for self-reflection. A helpful tool for Christians new and old!”
“This is a study guide that will help you to dig deeper into God’s Word in order to experience its life-giving truth and power. Josh Wilson’s questions and guidance are insightful and faithful.

“Through the very accessible tools of observation, interpretation, and application, this Bible study provides an interactive experience that invites the reader to embark upon a verse-by-verse journey through the book of Acts and to unearth a treasure of truths along the way. This study provides a rich understanding of how the early Christians functioned in their secular cultures, and, more importantly, will draw those willing to engage in it into the mesmerizing light of Christ and his gospel.”
