Mims, MEd, feels qualified to write The Book of Acts from a Layperson's Perspective because of his lifelong Christian faith. He is a Christian layperson active in his local United Methodist church, leading small-group adult Bible study and Sunday school classes. Relying on his training in education and his background as a technical writer and college instructor, he authored The Book of Acts from a Layperson's Perspective as his Christian witnessing, encouraging others to read and explore the Bible, especially the book of Acts, in order to develop and expand their own faith in God.ver menos
