Acts Odyssey (English Edition)

By René Schlaepfer

How did the Jesus movement grow from a few dozen frightened followers to a worldwide phenomenon in just a few decades--with no detailed strategy, no buildings, no budget, and every obstacle imaginable? To seek the truth, Ren? Schlaepfer set out to retrace the journeys of the original apostles through the Mediterranean world as told in the biblical Book of Acts. As he visits ancient sites in Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy and several Aegean Sea islands, Ren? meets with archaeological experts--and encounters modern thieves, rioting mobs, and nests of serpents. His adventures are enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring. In Acts Odyssey: On the Trail of the Apostles, Ren? strips away 21 centuries of accumulated debris--myths and traditions and legends--for a fresh glimpse of the original Jesus movement that changed the world. Your faith will be challenged. Your hope will be strengthened. Your vision will be increased. And you'll be convinced it can happen again. With 7-week web-based video small group curriculum.
