    About this ebook

    The book of Acts chronicles some of the most important events in Christian history: the scattering of Jesus's disciples across the known world, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the early church, and more.
    Plumbing the theological depths, this guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion—helping us understand the history-shaping events that took place in the years following Christ's ascension.
    Over the course of 12 weeks, each study in this series explores a book of the Bible and:

    - Asks thoughtful questions to spur discussion

    - Shows how each passage unveils the gospel

    - Ties the text in with the whole story of Scripture

    - Illuminates the doctrines taught in each passage

    - Invites you to discover practical implications

    - Helps you better understand and apply God's Word
