There is no way to understand the Book of Acts without affirming the existence of a dynamic and living Spirit.
Eugenia Price embodies this Spirit in words which make The Acts a joyous revelation. Something extraordinary happened to the men and women in this New Testament book, ending their grief and filling them with sudden courage. From the moment they poured into the streets on Pentecost to the time of Paul's last words from prison, Jesus energized these early Christians from within.
Their lives reveal the triumphant story of how the church began to "happen," and in those first conflict-torn, joy-filled days we are able to see how it was meant to be, even now, for those of us who call ourselves Christians.
Miss Price writes, ?Why it is not this way for us now, or why it is, at best, only this way now and then, I feel we must decide. I find little or no doctrine in the Acts, but I do find life, and great and simple helps in learning to live it.?
Learning to Live from the Acts is a sequel to the author's book, Learning to Live From the Gospels.
