The book of Acts is a thrilling account of the early church discovering what it means to be Christian. Through the power of the Holy Spirit they lived out a triumphant faith in the face of opposition and persecution, established order for a growing movement, and took the gospel to the ends of the earth.

It is an exhilarating story, and there are more treasures under the surface than a first reading finds. Charles C. Ryrie works through the whole book in the Everyday Bible Commentary series: short, readable volumes written for a Christian with no training in the languages.
