Joshua and Caleb, with the other explorers, spied out Canaan. They reported back that it was a land flowing with milk and honey and they gave the people grapes from Eshcol, pomegranates and figs. This book is like that.
As I read this really good book, I felt Chris Green explaining Acts to me better than any commentary that I had read. In the first part of the book (only 75 pages), he described the seven major ‘panels’ of the book of Acts. This meant we didn’t miss the wood for the trees. Along the way, he shone the light on some of the unusual ‘trees’, showing how wonderful they are.
