other time when the church suffered intensely at the hands of Roman
and Jewish persecutors, it was the Spirit who sustained the believers
and kept them from error.
The Acts of the Apostles was one of the last books written by Ellen
G. White. It was published a few years before her death. It is one
of the most illuminating volumes that came from her prolific pen.
The average reader will find in it light for Christian witnessing. The
message of the book is up to date, and its relevancy is reflected in the
effort of the author to show that the twentieth century will witness a
bestowal of spiritual power exceeding that of Pentecost. The work
of the gospel is not to close with a lesser display of the Holy Spirit’s
power than marked its beginning.
That the reader might participate in this re-enactment of the glori-
ous scenes of the early church and at the same time be preserved from
the subtle counterfeits of the enemy of souls is the prayer and earnest
wish of
The Publishers
