The story of Jesus cannot be contained in a history of 33 years on an ancient strip of land along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The group of 120 followers Jesus empowered transformed the world with the good news of redemption and reconciliation he preached. In this journey through the book of Acts, discover the leaps of faith taken by the early church to spread the news of the miracles they'd witnessed and the message they'd received. Their story carries us—his current followers—into our future. Their devotion and perseverance challenges us to step out in faith and make a difference in Jesus' name. We can experience Jesus' presence and power as the early church did, and be part of the ongoing movement to change the world with his revolutionary message.

Simple and powerful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 13, 2012

This book looks at the "actions of the apostles" more so than the "book of Acts". In doing this it brings out the human side of the Christs followers in those early days and how the supernatural part of God affected them and those around them. I found this to be both an easy read, yet one which made you think of the topic in a new light. I can only recommend it.

Fresh insights and inspiration from Acts

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2012

Jesus called his followers to a radically different way of living - one of love instead of hate, salvation instead of condemnation, forgiveness instead of revenge - according to Leith Anderson in this book. The book of Acts provides a succinct description of how the first disciples went about this new way of living during the early days of the faith, enabling present-day Christians to discover the roots of their own beliefs and behaviour.

The author's book takes the reader through the pages of the book of Acts, inviting the reader to respond to Jesus's call to live out God's will on earth. Interesting observations include:

* The early believers shared their possessions and gave to anyone in need as a spontaneous Spirit-driven expression of the desire to care for each other.
* Joy is contagious, just like misery and criticism.
* When we commit our lives to Jesus, we experience "times of refreshing".
* Peter and John engaged in civil disobedience when ordered not to preach; this complicates the question of whether Christians should always obey the law.
* When persecuted, the early Christians prayed not to escape trouble but for boldness to speak despite the intimidation.
* The early church was open to new approaches, experimentation and risks, willing to accomplish God's purpose in a new way, using a combination of spirituality and common sense.
* As in the case of Saul, God takes time to get us ready for what he calls us to do.
* Acts 15 describes what happened when a group of critics showed up to argue that the church was teaching a watered-down theology.
* The message of the book of Acts is directed to us, as a challenge to continue the growth of the church.

Many Bible commentaries are somewhat dry and academic; that is not the case with this book at all. I found fresh insights and inspiration in almost every chapter. This is partly because Acts is packed with exciting adventures in any event, but the author has managed to draw out much of that spirit of excitement to make the book engrossing and challenging.

I love Leith's books!

I admit some bias here because I know and respect Leith Anderson. But I think his books are fantastic... and, at least for a while, you can get this one totally free as a Kindle eBook.

"The Jesus Revolution" is a study covering the birth and growth of the church as described by Luke in the book of Acts. From Jesus' ascension to Paul's imprisonment in Rome, we see the challenges and joys of the first Christians. You will learn so much about the early church and the way it grabbed opportunities and overcame obstacles. But it is not just a look back; it is a bold new look forward. The relevance of the book of Acts is brought into the 21st century. This study excites us about what today's church can be.

And as a master communicator, Anderson writes with a vivid style that makes the reading interesting. Great for personal use, it is also suitable for small groups and Sunday school classes. While I am giving recommendations, let me also give a thumbs up for Leith's book, "Leadership That Works: Hope and Direction for Church and Parachurch Leaders in Today's Complex World." I led a number of pastors and church leaders through a study of this book and we all found it very profitable.

Content Outweighs Problems

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2019

This is mainly the story of Paul and the early spread of Christianity as told in Acts. It certainly could have had a better title because this one didn’t fit well. However, it is quite readable, although the book seemed longer than the 153 pages listed. There were many mistakes, mainly in the inconsistent punctuation, and I did not like the fact that the pronouns for God weren’t capitalized. I enjoyed some of the tidbits of history included. Overall, it was a worthwhile read.
