Silent Storm

The title Silent Storm must sound strange to you. So, I will give you an explanation. During the teaching of Jesus and His Apostles they carried the good news of the gospel to the entire world in the 1st century without using an army or the sword. You can have a silent storm if you are referring to a spiritual event instead of a physical one. That is the main theme of this book. When the first Christians of their number was martyred (Stephen), such a widespread persecution developed that all except the apostles were driven from their homes and scattered abroad (cf. Acts 8:1). But this did not slow them down or dampen their enthusiasm. Wherever they went, they were found “preaching the word” (Acts 8:4). They preached it as they had opportunity, not depending on others to do the work for them. “Perhaps if we believed what they believed, we might achieve what they achieved.” If we did, I am convinced that God would give us success, too.
