The Final Chapter Nobody Expected

Paul survives a shipwreck, shakes off a venomous snake like it's nothing, heals an island full of sick people, and finally arrives in Rome — where he spends two years under house arrest, teaching anyone who walks through the door. The book of Acts ends not with a bang, but with an open door.
