Impartial
Through Impartial, we are going to journey through the beginnings of the Christian Church as described through Acts 1–10. Impartial was written with the hope and prayer that God uses this journey through Acts to blow your faith wide open. Become men and women of such outrageous faith that you would ask huge things of God just to watch him work. Believe that he is a good, good Father who answers our prayers with complete faithfulness. Impartial is a beautiful look at how God cherished the special time in Acts 1–10 with his covenant people, how he reveled in the salvation of the sons and daughters of Abraham, and ultimately, how he used them to reach the ends of the earth. God is truly an impartial God, one who does not conform to social standards but welcomes every single person into his family. Join in on this journey to learn about our amazing and impartial God!

We were given a copy of the book Impartial: A Journey Through the Acts of the Apostles 1-10 so that we might review it. Somehow, it just seems wrong to give a poor review to a Bible study book. However, if we are honest with our readers, and ourselves, we must.
If one is to write a Bible study, they should have a keen grasp of what the Bible says and does NOT say. The author repeatedly speaks of Saul being renamed Paul. This never happened.
Saul was always also known as Paul. Both names are the same. In Acts 13:9 Luke says Saul, who is ALSO called Paul. Just like Peter is also called Cephas. They both are the same name just different translations. Both mean “Rock”.
When a Biblical scholar insists that something happened that the Bible does not say happened, it is difficult to believe they are credible in anything else.
The author states that the widows chose the seven. But the Bible does not say that. It says that the Grecian Jews complained because their widows were being overlooked in the distribution of food. The Twelve said, “Brothers, choose seven men from among you” clearly, they were not addressing the widows.
If the author gets simple things incorrect, or reads something into the Bible that is not stated in the Bible, how are we to feel confident that she is not wrong on other issues?
Most of the information is correct and the author’s style is easy to read and follow, so we give Impartial three stars. If the author stuck with what the Bible does say and did not veer off into things that are commonly believed the Bible says, it would be a much better book.
