PHILIP AND THE REVIVAL IN SAMARIA
By Geoffrey Thomas
Banner of Truth. 120 pages. £6.00
ISBN 085151 899 0

This book resonates with the eloquence of a true preacher. The qualities of real preaching such as vividness, stimulus, exhortation and application are here; and all based on painstaking teaching and doctrine.

In four chapters the author explains the relevant passages in Acts 6 & 8, concerning Philip the Evangelist and his part in the awakening in Samaria; and in addition, his surprising removal from the scene to take the gospel to the Ethiopian eunuch.
