Overview

The Word of God is living and powerful, and we see that power demonstrated in the book of Acts. That power is available to believers today through faith in God and faithfulness to Him. This book will help you both understand and harness the power of the Holy Spirit in your own life and ministry. The wisdom and practical application contained here will guide you into a new level of fellowship with the Holy Spirit, who will in turn guide you into all truth.

What a great gift and purposeful use of a legacy to take your dad's teaching notes on the book of Acts and make them available to the public. Thank you, Jennifer, for this great act of honoring; thank you, Brother Jones, for over twenty-five years of faithful ministry on our Bible college campuses, and thank you, Reader, for diving into the book of Acts and experiencing the Holy Spirit in fresh and new ways! Grab your Bible and this commentary and enjoy the journey.Doug Clay, Assemblies of God General Superintendent For anyone intrigued by the Holy Spirit's role in the launch of the church, God's Power Unleashed is for you. This book is a compilation of a lifetime of study by Professor David L. Jones and will be a wonderful resource for learners of all levels. You will be encouraged and enriched by his insights into the book of Acts.Mark Dean, Superintendent, Minnesota District Assemblies of God David Jones was a special individual. I first learned of the Jones family through some very old Pentecostal leaders I had first met when I was a student at the British AG Bible College in the mid 1970s. In fact, when one of these leaders heard that my wife and I intended visiting the US, they asked that we visit Mrs. Jones, David's mother. Little did I realize that many years later I would be the President at Trinity Bible College and Graduate school in Ellendale, North Dakota, where David taught. David was a force in the classroom. He is still quoted regularly today by his students. His raw, down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach to ministry and leadership is evident in his exegetical work. His life, spirituality, and practicality make this an excellent book, and I give it my hearty endorsement.Paul R Alexander, PhD, President, Trinity Bible College and Graduate School, Ellendale, North Dakota God's Power Unleashed would be a great addition to your study library. Jen Courtney has gone to great lengths to not only honor the legacy of her late father, but to also make his teaching notes on the book of Acts available to another generation. Her unique observations prior to the notes of each chapter give us a window into the character and personality of her father. As I read his insights on the power and practice of the early church, it was as if I were back in the classroom again being challenged and inspired to believe God for greater things.Rev. Clarence St. John, Former Minnesota District Superintendent

Author Information

Jennifer (Jones) Courtney, daughter and granddaughter of two preaching and teaching greats, is a third-generation minister, spanning almost 100 years of a Jones in full-time ministry. She is grateful for her spiritual heritage and loves that God has called her to continue the tradition of cherishing and spreading the message of God's Word. She has been pastoring with her husband since 1994, starting in youth and young adult ministries, and now lead pastoring churches alongside her husband. She is ordained with the Assemblies of God, serving as the discipleship pastor at her current church, and teaching future ministers at the Minnesota School of Ministry. She loves her craft room, her green Mini Cooper (named Mr. Bean) and all things winter and snow. She lives with her husband, Dan, in Central Minnesota and has two adult daughters, Allison and Megan. David Lancaster Jones, born in England in 1938, grew up like a proper British chap, and became the wise, witty, and sarcastic preacher and professor everyone knew affectionately as Brother Jones. Before he joined the church triumphant in 2021, he knew that his daughter was getting his life's work published. He was an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God for over fifty years and was a favorite pastor or professor of many. Over twenty-five years of his ministry career was spent pastoring churches in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. The rest of his ministry career was spent at Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, North Dakota, instilling into future ministers a love for God's Word and the enormous honor and responsibility of sharing that with others. You couldn't be in a class or congregation of his without appreciating the depth of his biblical wisdom or laughing at a witty comment you didn't see coming. He was one of a kind! He was married to his high school sweetheart, Mary G. Jones, for sixty years before she went to heaven in 2019. Together they raised five children: Wendy, Becky, Heidi, Jennifer, and Adam, along with being foster parents to over 100 children.
