This book reviews each chapter of the Book of Acts in sections. After presenting the actual scripture passage, the author, who possesses a profound understanding of the Bible, offers modern-day explanations and insights for each section. There are two paperback volumes written by N. T. Wright. The first book covers chapters 1 through 12, while the second book addresses chapters 13 through 28. We use these books for group Bible study at our church, but they are also excellent for individual reading. Please avoid ordering "Acts: 24 Studies for Individuals and Groups," as it is a study guide that is often confused with "Acts for Everyone."
