Saved: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Acts by Nancy Guthrie is a comprehensive guide to better understanding the events that took place during the formation of the early church. Saved closely examines the experience of the apostles in the days following Jesus’ resurrection and ascension. The book is a chapter-by-chapter companion to the book of Acts, with particular focus on the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the apostles and in the transforming power of the Gospel during the first century.

Nancy Guthrie points out the big themes in the book of Acts and provides insightful commentary about how the Gospel spread through the preaching of the apostles. The book includes maps and a detailed timeline to help readers navigate through the historical record and the missionary work of the apostle Paul.
