2 Cover: In the spring of 1989, the editor of Harvestime Books asked a close friend, James Arrabito, a skilled West- coast artist, to paint a picture illustrating the shipwreck scene in Acts 27:43 and 44, for an extremely low-cost edi- tion of Acts of the Apostles . James completed the painting in July 1989, and he promised that, as soon as he had time, he would produce another painting for the cover of Prophets and Kings. Unfortunately, Jim died in an airplane crash in Alaska on September 2, 1990, before that second painting could be completed. This book: This edition includes the complete original book. Noth- ing the author wrote has been omitted or changed. Explanation of bracketed numbers on page tops: These refer to comparable, standardized paging in the original cloth-cover edition.
