<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Gifted writer retells the compelling stories of Jesus's earliest followers, revealing one of the deepest truths of the Gospel: that it's about the intersection of God's story and our own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the earliest days of the Christian church, the gospel spread out from Jerusalem in a burst of incredible stories. A man who could calm a stormy sea with a word, who healed the lame and the blind, who raised the ire of the religious leaders, and who even raised people from the dead. Compare this organic, even entertaining, method of spreading the Good News to how we are often encouraged to evangelize today, with clever arguments and our defenses already up in anticipation of rebuttal. Somewhere along the way, we've lost the plot to the greatest story ever told. <br>Now Matt Mikalatos invites us back into God's story, both to find our place in it and to rediscover the wonder that the apostles saw in their listeners as they told the story of Jesus, the Messiah they knew personally and loved fiercely. As they lose themselves in modern retellings of the events of the book of Acts, readers will find that sharing the story is easier and more rewarding than they ever imagined.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Rediscover </b><b><i>the wonder</i></b><b> of sharing </b><b><i>the story</i></b><b><br></b><br>In the earliest days of the Christian church, the gospel spread out from Jerusalem in a burst of incredible stories--about a man who calmed a stormy sea with a word, healed the lame and the blind, enraged the religious leaders, and even raised people from the dead.
