Faith Adventures

A suitcase covered in stickers. A preacher's lost journal. A story that never ended.

When a missionary family from Ghana walks into church, they bring an old leather journal with two words pressed into its cover: Acts 29. Its pages tell of a revival held in 1951 at the bend of a river. But several pages have been torn out, and the inside cover holds one mysterious line: "The rest is where the river bends."

In this third and final book of the Faith Adventures trilogy, Hannah, Aiden, Amie, and their friends discover that everything God did in the book of Acts, He is still doing today. A man who has never walked gets up out of his wheelchair. A skeptical newspaper reporter and her son come face to face with the living Jesus. A church prays all night for a pastor in prison on the other side of the world. And when the journal is stolen, the kids learn what it really means to forgive.

The adventure ends on a riverbank in Ghana, where a 91-year-old church mother has been guarding a secret for 75 years.

Over 30 days, children and families explore six big truths from the book of Acts:

• The gospel and salvation
• The Holy Ghost and the Pentecostal experience
• The church and Christian worship
• Holiness, character, and obedience
• Witness, mission, and Christian hope

Inside this book:

• 30 short, exciting chapters, perfect for bedtime or family devotions
• Bible verses from the easy-to-read New International Reader's Version (NIrV), woven right into the story
• A Live It step for every day, with a simple way to put God's Word into practice
• 10 fun Kids Activities for the whole family
• A challenge to read through Acts and start writing your own "chapter 29"

Written from an Apostolic Pentecostal perspective, Faith Adventures: The Book of Acts teaches that there is one God, that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh, and that the new birth comes through repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and the gift of the Holy Ghost. It also shows that a holy life is a joyful response to God's grace.

You can read it on its own, or as the grand finale after The Book of James and The Book of Proverbs.

The book of Acts never really ended. God is still writing, and now it's your turn.
