What can the contemporary church in the United Kingdom learn from Philip the Evangelist?
Former Army Scripture reader, William Wade’s brief and punchy character study aims to reignite a passion for evangelism in the individual Christian and the local church.
Challenging lessons
Wade works his way through Luke’s record of Philip's ministry in the Acts of the Apostles to provide a variety of helpful and challenging lessons including: the true nature of gospel work; the importance of prayer in the midst of spiritual warfare; and the necessity of expectancy in preaching. Not all will agree with the views expressed on training for the ministry and I remain unpersuaded that Simon Magus was a genuine believer. However, those who read this little book will benefit from this passionate call to spread the good news that Philip preached.
