A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
Trusted author Iain Duguid opens the early chapters of the book of Acts to examine how the Holy Spirit empowered church made its first advance with the gospel. Practical and edifying. Eminently useful for Sunday schools and small groups as well as individual study. Highly recommended.
Sinclair Ferguson writes:
“Iain Duguid’s Turning the World Upside Down―based on the opening chapters of Acts―is a splendid gift to us from a writer who stands in the church’s best tradition of being both a professor and pastor. It skillfully combines interpretation of Scripture with clear and relevant applications. It is scholarly yet readable, simple yet enriching, enjoyable yet challenging, packed with expositions of the ‘there and then’ that help us see and feel their implications for the ‘here and now.’ Here is a book to help both the church and the individual Christian turn our world ‘upside down’ in order to turn it ‘the right way up.’”
