A rip roaring, hair raising, edge-of-your-chair saga of the first-century believers. From the day of Pentecost, on through the first seventeen years, every historical figure of that age is there: alive, vivid, believable.

The book of Acts is there; ancient history is there; men secular and sacred come alive! An historical cliff-hanger written like a novel.

There is not another book on the first century like it in print. The story of the early church, the word of God in century one is once more alive, down to earth and thrilling. A new dimension in first-century history.

About the Author

Edwards, Gene: - Gene Edwards is a biblical scholar with the pen of a poet, a master storyteller who causes scriptural truth to become an adventure into revelation, and in doing so he brings you into the deepest truths of Christ. All across the world his books are read for their insight into Christ, and they leave the reader spellbound in the presence of so glorious a Lord.Gene grew up in the East Texas oil fields and entered college at the age of 15. He graduated from East Texas State University at 18 with a bachelor's degree in English history and received his M.Div. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Gene is part of the house-church movement, and has spent much of his life traveling extensively to aid Christians as they begin meeting in homes rather than in church buildings. Gene and his wife, Helen, reside in Jacksonville, Florida, and have two grown children.

Praise for this book

This is an excellent read! Perspective on Acts 1 thru 8, how many years the church developed and under who, and how? And how it spread form Jerusalem with such force that has never been matched since. Notice the form and function of the early church; without special buildings and worship services, clergy, etc, all of which is a modern day innovation and invention that has in large part replace the church you read of in the N.T. Very enlightening and helpful if your interested in returning to normal church. - Budnews (Amazon review MAR 2016)

So you think you understand church life - read this book!

So many times we have studied the beginning of Christ's church by picking out facts and figures and possibly have completely missed the essence of the true lifestyle of Christ incarnate in the Church, His body. If only churches could catch the spirit of such life in Christ! A must read and addition to your library. Read regularly - drink deeply - be blessed.
