INSIDE FLAP: AUTHOR COMMENT: PUBLISHER'S COMMENT:

Description of Acts of the Holy Spirit:

Acts of the Holy Spirit is C. Peter Wagner's complete commentary on the book of Acts. As the gospel began to spread to the world, the Early Church was confronted with spiritual and cultural barriers-strongholds-it had to overcome. The book of Acts describes how the first disciples of Christ learned to overcome spiritual and cultural resistance-a lesson vitally important for the Church today. As the goal of world evangelism is now tantalizingly within reach, the book of Acts stands as a biblical blueprint, showing how the Church can overcome these barriers to at last fulfill the Great Commission.

Description of C. Peter Wagner, author of Acts of the Holy Spirit:

Scholarly, accessible, and practical. C. Peter Wagner's commentary on the entire book of Acts is a wonderful exposition of the story of the early church and the activity of its awesome God, in which Wagner attempts to answer important questions like "Is there one true Church?" "Why are there so many differences?" and "What is essential?". One major emphasis in Wagner's exposition is the description of how the first disciples of Christ learned to overcome spiritual and cultural resistance, which has particular relevance to contemporary missionary endeavors. What sets this commentary apart is its focus on bridging the gap between the early church and our current church, which offers us a vivid picture of God's plan for His church, both then and now. John Maxwell says of this commentary, "What a joy it is to add C. Peter Wagner's creative new commentary on Acts to my library!" Missionary expert Thom Rainer states that "No other commentary on Acts has so captured its missiological and church-growth perspectives." And Jack Hayford describes it this way: "C. Peter Wagner's blend of scholarship, fearless faith, personal devotion and commitment to evangelism flavor this vibrant study of the Acts of the Apostles."
