CHARACTERS AROUND THE CHURCH:
Witnesses to the birth of the Jerusalem church
By Tom Houston. Christian Focus. 275 pages. £5.99
ISBN 1 85792 803 2

This paperback book is one of a series of books on Bible characters. It contains 23 short chapters based on people found in the Acts of the Apostles.

It takes us from humble faithful Matthias, via Peter, Ananias and Sapphira, Saul of Tarsus, Aeneas and Dorcas, Cornelius through to the final fate of Jerusalem itself. We meet people who spoke out whatever the consequences, some whose lives were changed by the power of the gospel, some who were models of evangelism later in life, and also the power-hungry and the greedy.
