Acts for Everyone part 1 - Here Comes the Power
by SPCK - N T Wright
Here Comes the Power Acts 2. 1-4 Sometimes a name, belonging to one particular person, becomes so attached to a particular object or product that we forget where it originally came from. The obvious example is ‘Hoover’: in England at least we speak of ‘the Hoover’ when we mean ‘t…
