I'm working on an "Acts" Bible study...

I'm working on a Bible Study based on Acts.
It has been my experience that many Christians (believers in Christ) out
there have either never been taught this dynamic book, or, if they have
studied it, have been taught it is over and no longer applies!
I have recently dialogued with many people (Christian and no), whose eyes
have, at least partially, been "opened" regarding Acts via a careful study
beginning with the last couple of chapters in Luke and going straight thru
to the second "volume", Acts.
Many had never made the connection (since John is in-between).
Many are asking how to receive the Holy Ghost before we even get to Acts
2:38!
(Praise the Lord).
What I need is this:
A) Scripture references to tie Acts in w/ other parts of the Bible (not the
"obvious" ones, I need "deeper" references.)
B) Personal testimony from people who have "seen the truth" once taught the
truth of Acts.
C) Personal testimony from people who have seen results after *teaching*
someone Acts.
I feel very strongly about this.
My hope is to market this as a "Beginner's Guide to Acts" or "Truths in
Acts" or something like that in REGULAR Christian Bookstores. (Why limit
the info to people who already know it?) I want this to lean heavily on
Biblical materials instead of scholarly logic.
I need original illustrations or photos, charts (I will work on those as
well), etc.
Whatever the Lord leads you to contribute.
I know there are other Bible Studies on Acts...but I want this to be such
that anyone can pick it up and understand.
I want to also include a general directory (traditional or electronic) of
Apostolic (not necessarily UPC) churches so people can call or visit with
questions.
I want as many people to be included as possible in the making of this
(male or female, Jew or Greek, bond or free)!
