About the author

Arthur Tappan Pierson (March 6, 1837 – June 3, 1911) was an American Presbyterian pastor, early fundamentalist leader, and writer who preached over 13,000 sermons, wrote over fifty books, and gave Bible lectures as part of a transatlantic preaching ministry that made him famous in Scotland and England. He was a consulting editor for the original "Scofield Reference Bible" (1909) for his friend, C. I. Scofield and was also a friend of D. L. Moody, George Müller (whose biography 'George Muller of Bristol' he wrote), Adoniram Judson Gordon, and C. H. Spurgeon, whom he succeeded in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, from 1891 to 1893. Throughout his career, Pierson filled several pulpit positions around the world as an urban pastor who cared passionately for the poor.

Reviews

[James Tetley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Covers around half of the book of ACTS - an eye opening examination of the work of the Holy Spirit in the early church. Some good insights - and reminders that ultimately all growth comes through a combination of availability to God and a desire to be used by the Spirit of God. His title is a helpful and rightful corrective that it is not the ACTS of the apostles but the ACTS of the Holy Spirit.

The book ends with the challenge

"While we pray for the whole body of Christ, our responsibility is individual. Let us cultivate divine fellowship in the Spirit, yield ourselves unto God as those who are alive from the dead, and dare to take a bold but loving stand for Holy Ghost administration in the church, that he may be welcomed to his rightful seat of sovereignty; and beneath his golden scepter every blessing shall distil like the dew, and the Lord shall anew command his blessing, even life forevermore!"

Three stars for being insightful but not inspirational.
