  3. Lesson 1- A Look at the Back of the Book The Book of Acts, which is God’s training manual for today’s church, shows the triumphant story of the birth and growth of the Church despite evil and persecution. Global Center for Christian Development

  4. Lesson 1- A Look at the Back of the Book What Does Amen Mean? • The definition of amen is, “let it be so.” • The word amen is used to express our willingness to be obedient and proves we are in agreement with the speaker. • The word amen also implies that something is finished.
