A little more from David Gooding’s book, True to the Faith .

Because on...Read more
I have long found David Gooding's book, True to the Faith , a really helpful look at the book of Acts, mapping out how Luke's story unfolds and how it teaches us in the process.

We’ve reached today the end of the book of the prophet Malachi, written about the year 400 b.c., two and a half thousand years ago. You will remember that the Malachi prophesied in the city of Jerusalem that had been rebuilt after the people had returned from their exile to Babylon.
