Ever wanted to know how it is possible to live a life of faith, fervency, and faithfulness to God? This volume shows how it was demonstrated in the life, love and labour of a man separated, summoned, and sent to the work. Barnabas, 'son of consolation', certainly lived up to the meaning of his name. Traced out for us in Acts chapters 9 through 15 (in company with the apostle Paul), the ministry of Barnabas will be reflected in an example of care and compassion, devotion and duty, faithfulness and fervency. Important lessons for all in the work of the Lord.

The volume is both doctrinal and devotional; persuasive and practical; insightful and expositional. The preaching and teaching of the gospel, the salvation of souls, believer's baptism by immersion, reception to the fellowship of a local assembly, responsibility and accountability of assembly testimony and the at-any-moment return of the Lord Jesus Christ are among the doctrinal truths and practical lessons which present themselves in this volume. The author's prayer is that the reader will be encouraged to 'walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God' (Col. 1:10).
