Reviews
I love what Kevin and Chris have done here: The truth of God’s Word beautifully presented in a way that informs the head while stirring the heart.

What communication! I found the combination of images and texts took the Books of Acts from black and white to colour. I was particularly gripped by the references to other parts of the Bible, which gloriously filled out the story of Acts.
