Mission Improbable: How the Gospel Set the World on Fire - Softcover

The Acts of the Apostles is the original adventure classic in the Bible. There are shipwrecks and snakebites, riots, and resurrections as well as prison breaks and precarious journeys. At every turn, it seems like the young Christian movement, called the Way, will face imminent collapse at the hands of hostile powers, insecure religious leaders and unscrupulous business people. Yet, somehow, the Church survives, grows and prospers. Nothing can stop the proclamation of the Gospel to “the ends of the earth” because the Spirit of God is behind it. Written from a distinctly Anglican perspective, this guide will help you read Acts well. With fresh translations, brief explanations of the text, and thought-provoking reflection questions, the book of Acts will come alive like never before. With an investment of just ten minutes a day, you will not only encounter the Bible in a deeper way, but will strengthen your faith as well.
