{"product_id":"acts-1","title":"Acts","description":"Larry Woiwode has been called \"a prodigiously gifted stylist\" (The New Republic) who can \"wring your heart\" (The Boston Globe) with his talent for evoking in language \"pure, cleanly wrought beauty until it is made to seem both universal and extraordinary\" (The Atlantic Monthly). Here Woiwode turns to the book of Acts, the generational history of the early Christians, and finds it a suitable framework within which to share his thoughts on storywriting, Christianity, the deleterious impact of culture upon the contemporary church, and the church's inability to clearly define itself or respond effectively to cultural attacks.\nWoiwode takes us through the narrative journey of the book of Acts, analyzing each event with a writer's sensibility. He establishes a clear-eyed view of the true basis and purpose of Christianity, and points out how today's Church seems to be drifting farther and farther from those origins. Fresh and compelling, filled with revelations of Woiwode's own spiritual journey, Acts will absorb and enlighten anyone who has savored this master writer's fictional work.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060694041\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0060694041.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Woiwode, Larry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
