Down through the centuries students of New Testament history have lamented over the fact that the New Testament Book of "Acts of the Apostles" ends abruptly and was never finished. It breaks off right after the most crucial point in apostolic history-only three decades after the Ressurection of Jesus. If ever the missing conclusion of this amazing story could be found, it would revolutionize our understanding of the history of the New Testament Church leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. - and beyond! Don't we wish we could just lift the veil of mystery that surrounds the final days of the apostles and finally get som straight answers? This book intends to do just that. It will be your guide into that great adventure, and it will be the next best thing to actually having the final chapter of Acts
