SynopsisA 1991 Christianity Today Readers' Choice Award The Spirit moves the church into the world. That is how it has always been since the day of Pentecost when the Spirit brought thousands from many countries into the body of Christ.

What can Acts tell us about tongues and other extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit? How should churches structure themselves--with elders, deacons, pastors or all three? What should a normal Christian conversion look like? And, of course, how should the church reach out into the world with the message of salvation?These and many other topics are handled with a pastoral heart and an unwavering commitment to the authority of God's Word in our lives.

Readable study guide
Good way to learn about the day-to-day teachings of God's messengers in the world of long ago: a world leading to the good and not-so-good of today's spiritual world in which we exist. The content was educational and interesting. Told in a way that the "common" man can understand. Using the guides as a help meet, and the narrations as expert guidance, the book is an excellent way to expand knowledge and understanding of God's word and message as it applies to us today.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
