It is based on the book of Acts and speaks from the perspective that the account of the early church, as told by Luke, is a story that continues forward from the Gospel of Luke. In fact Acts is often called “Luke, Volume II.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBouchelle guides the reader and the group participant from Acts 1:1 with the Lord Jesus commissioning His church right up through chapter 9 where the Apostle to the Gentiles, Saul of Tarsus who would become God’s servant, Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author describes this study and approach in stating that we often seek to find patterns, models and examples in the book of Acts and seemingly fail to note the bigger picture. He likens this to picking meat off of the bones of a well roasted chicken as we seek to gain insights into structure and organization. “A skeleton maybe useful, but it doesn’t taste good!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at Acts as an extension of the life of Jesus, many things fall into place that might otherwise go unnoticed. Rather than seeking highly specific expectations, the nature of the Lord’s expectations for His church are shown to be that he desires to be clearly visible in the community of His disciples as they meet, as they worship, as they pray and as they enter the communities that are all around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author writes in a clear and helpful way as he unpacks the book of Acts.

Healthy churches are not afraid to restudy, pray, ask hard questions and change their practices when God brings new insight into the gospel—even if it is controversial and creates opposition from the supporters of tradition. Peter created a huge controversy by baptizing Cornelius and it took decades to resolve the trouble. Much of the New Testament was written about this issue—including much of Acts.

The series is designed primarily for small group study and interaction but will also prove fruitful for individual study. Every now and then life becomes real. Something happens to remind you that in the real world, as opposed to what we see on television, problems aren’t always solved in 60 minutes. Maybe that’s why you picked up this book. The very title made you wonder. . . is there any way to deal with the reality of living? The believers in Philippi were facing the realities of life and faith. Paul’s letter to their church was just what they needed. In this insightful study, we will learn from Paul’s “reality check letter” to the Philippians as he taught them the necessary adjustments they needed to make in order to not just survive but thrive in real life. If you are ready to make some changes to improve your life, this book is for you. It’s time to regroup and prepare for the rest of your life. It’s time to take a break and make some adjustments before life gets any more real! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRusty George is the Lead Pastor of Real Life Church in Valencia, California.
