The dear Lord has, in loving mercy as we believe, specially fitted this author to write a commentary on the book of Acts.

1. In a ministry of over forty years he has studied, taught, and preached on the book of Acts more than any other book of the Bible. He spent seventeen years in writing the large book, The Power of Pentecost, based principally on the Acts of the Apostles, has written a multitude of sermons and preached in many Bible conferences on the book of Acts.

2. He is an evangelist blessed of God in city-wide, soul-saving campaigns all over America, including Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Seattle, Miami, etc. He has seen tens of thousands claim Christ as their saviour. He has helped establish about a dozen new soul-winning churches. He has sought and God has repeatedly graciously given him the power of the Holy Spirit for soul winning.

Who could write properly of the power of the Holy Spirit in Acts who never knew such power manifested in blessed revivals like those record in Acts? What dry, cold Bible teacher can properly teach soul winning who never won souls? Who can give wise exposition of the Scriptures about the informal, independent, soul-winning, local churches of Christians in the book of Acts who never established nor acted as pastor, nor was a member of such a church?

3. Dr. Rice has had tremendous experience in writing simply and plainly on Bible subjects, having written over a hundred books and pamphlets which have been published in the astonishing number of more than 22 million copies and translated into more than 30 languages. The God-given facility with words, the literal, believing viewpoint, and the fervor of heart which comes through, specially fit this man of God for writing a commentary on the book of Acts.

The author’s scholarship as a Bible student and teacher, with written comments on every chapter in the Bible and every principal verse, his habit of interpreting Scripture with Scripture and proving truth by an accumulation of Scriptures instead of by the commentaries, make his writing on this book entirely fresh, literal, fundamental, and we believe dependable.

We believe that here fundamental, Bible-believing Christians who love the Word of God and who want the experience, the power and blessing of New Testament Christianity as revealed in the Acts of the Apostles, will find here remarkable complete and spiritual and heart-warming help on Acts.
