In his book 'The Untold Story of the New Testament Church' Frank viola takes his reader on an incredible journey through the entire New Testament.
A scholar of the New Testament Church and a forerunner of modern Church renewal, Frank Viola casts his gaze back at the birth pangs of first century Christianity in The Untold Story of the New Testament Church. Using a 'you-are-there' approach, this epic volume gives readers a first-hand account of how the witness of Christ's testimony impacted the world. In the era right after the Day of Pentecost, the power of Holy Spirit prompted a massive harvest of souls yet a great persecution surged against those preaching Good News to the lost. Now, get up-close with apostles Paul, Peter and John and learn of their personal struggles to fight for the faith amidst a backdrop of in-house strife and foreign tyranny.
The New Testament is often hard to understand. A major reason is because it is not arranged in chronological order. Paul's letters, for example, are arranged by size rather than chronologically. This makes the New Testament a bit like a Chinese puzzle! For this reason, one famous Bible scholar said that reading the New Testament letters is like hearing one end of a phone conversation. The book you hold in your hands reconstructs the other end so that you can understand virtually every word!
The Untold Story of the New Testament Church is a unique Bible handbook that weaves Acts and the Epistles together chronologically...creating one fluid story! This epic volume gives readers a first-hand account of the New Testament drama that is riveting and enlightening. It includes dates, maps and background information about the people, the cities and the events of the first-century Church using a "you-are-there" approach.
Get up-close and personal with apostles Paul, Peter, James and John and learn of their personal struggles. Understand the circumstances behind each inspired letter they penned. Watch the chaotic swirl of first-century people and events fall into place before your very eyes. Discover what Paul's "thorn in the flesh" really was. Learn what happened to all the apostles after the book of Acts was finished. Be ushered into the living, breathing atmosphere of the first century and uncover the hidden riches found in God's Word!

“We have waited a long time for the new worship talent of Nick Law to hit the music scene. With passionate lyrics and moving melodies Nick has captured the desire of all those who want to be friends of God. This is a must buy album!” Andy Rushworth (Area41 Music, Christian Life Assembly, South Carolina USA)
"Sounds great!!!" Tim Hughes (Worship Director at HTB)
"Nick Laws latest recording, Heart On Fire is a passionately energised e.p. Produced by Andy Baker (Gentlemen and Philippa Hanna) and Nick Law himself, this is a record that has an edge musically and lyrically, and both are good. From the opening track Heart on Fire to the intimacy of Brand New Start, these songs speak of honesty through lifes experiences and engage the listener. Styles are varied from Guitar driven Oasis anthems to the piano of Keane or Coldplay these are songs you will remember, and the uplifting chorus of Higher Than I will resonate in your heart and head for a long time."
