Acts, or Acts of the Apostles, is an account of the beginnings of the Church. This was written by Luke, a physician that traveled with Paul on various mission trips. This book begins with the ascension of Jesus, then follows the Church beginning led by Peter, and then we meet Paul and watch his transformation from persecutor to persecuted. We witness the good news of Jesus being spread to all the known world by simple people just like us and see the impact Jesus has in ordinary people’s lives.
