Relive the lively first days of the young Christian church in these fifteen stirring chapters based on the first half of the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles. Fictional but believable first-century news releases from imaginary newspapers of the day further enliven this highly readable reader. Questions for thought and discussion conclude each chapter.<br>

<br><i>I am delighted that a writer of the stature of Albert P. Stauderman is giving to the church a book that will help us reflect on the work of the Spirit in the lives of early Christians.</i><br>
Dr. Herbert W. Chilstrom, Bishop<br>
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America<br>

<br><i><b>Journey Through Acts </b>is a rare publishing event. Drawing upon a lifetime of reporting about the twentieth-century church, Al Stauderman turns his attention to the first-century church. The result is a lively "news commentary" such as readers of that time might have found in their daily newspapers. This unique updating of the biblical witness gives today's readers unusual insights into contemporary churchlife and growth.</i><br>
