My Review

If you're looking for a Bible study that really dives into Acts, the early church, and how to apply those truths to our lives today, this one is for you. I enjoyed reading about how the author was inspired by persecuted Christians who boldly live the Gospel every day. Because our nation was founded as Christian, we have so many liberties here that have made us weak Christians a lot of times (I have both my hands up here too) to where we are afraid to share the Gospel just because someone may get angry or laugh at us. The fire that we lack is found with the Biblical truth presented in these pages. I was unable to complete the entire study, so I can't vouch for every aspect of it, but it was just plain Bible truth organized into a 8 week study that was 5 days each. The author really took their time in research Biblically, and really organized it in a logical way with emphasis on Christian American heritage as well as those in the past that lived out their faith like Martin Luther. I also enjoyed the personal touch the author gives with some of her own spiritual experiences. Overall, if you're looking for a Gospel-themed Bible study for individuals or groups, this one is for you.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.
