Stay the Course

This book takes a close (but by no means exhaustive) look at the major portions of Acts and challenges Salvationists to apply the principles found in those passages to their lives. The first part of the book, Take Your Place, focuses on the opening chapters of Acts, in which the people of God "take their place" after Jesus ascends and the Holy Spirit descends. The second section, Unite ... Move ... Love, describes how the early church became a "Church of Steel" that was "united" in mission, kept "moving" the Gospel forward, and "loved" others because of God's love for them. The final section, Stay the Course, relates the story of Saul, who became the Apostle Paul, and how he "stayed the course" to do his part in carrying the Gospel to the "ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8) In every section, I look not just at the text and what it means but also how the text can be applied to our lives.
