Description
God has given us a special gift in Paul’s farewell message to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:17–38). There is really nothing else in the New Testament comparable to this passage. In Acts 20: Fierce Wolves are Coming; Guard the Flock, Alexander Strauch provides an in-depth yet practical exposition of this extraordinary portion of Scripture.
History amply demonstrates that the truths of Paul’s message cannot be overstated or repeated too often. The appalling, centuries-long failure to stop false teachers from invading churches can be traced directly back to ignorance of or disobedience to Pauls’ prophetic warnings to the Ephesian elders.
Paul’s instructions and pleas to the Ephesian elders are just as critically needed today as they were that day on the shores of Miletus.

“Alexander Strauch is one of the most humble and godly men I’ve ever met. He continues to guide a new generation with his faithful work. These two books [Acts 20 and The 15 Descriptions of Love] will sharpen vocational and lay leaders alike.”
— Costi Hinn Pastor, Redeemer Bible Church, Gilbert, AZ
“Alexander Strauch has blessed us with a proven resource to use when training men for church leadership. I say “proven” because a fellow-pastor and I just finished taking and elder-in-training through this challenging and encouraging exposition of Paul’s final charge to the Ephesian elders…. The book stimulated great discussion every step of the way.”
— Joe Hellerman Professor of New Testament Language and Literature, Talbot Seminary
“Strauch systematically expounds Acts 20, quoting a wide range of authors as he does so. His treatment is practical….It is also hard-hitting….These twelve chapters would serve as a useful introduction to what being an elder involves, as well as an invaluable reminder and refresher course for existing elders.”
— Austin Walker “The Banner of Truth” magazine book review
