A solid, understandable commentary - Life Application Commentaries are very accessible to the lay reader and give added depth to Scripture. I've tried a number of commentaries, and I believe I'll stick with Life Application.

A very practical commentary - This is a very practical application type of commentary, it's a good reference book especially for beginners and even to those seasoned Christians who want to understand how the early church began and how things are being done.

Excellent Life Application Commentary essential for Acts - If you have a chance to check out any "Top Selling Bibles" lists put out by the Christian Booksellers of America, and other groups, you will usually find the "Life Application Bible" at or near the top. The Life Application format provides useful, practical application to daily living, scholarly insight into cultures and languages, and a wonderful cross-referencing system that unifies the entire Bible under its vital themes. The Life Application Bible is, in a sense, the best of everything.

Although the individual books can be pricey, the Life Application Commentary volumes -- primarily New Testament -- are even a few steps above the commentary in the Bible. All the vital and necessary information is provided, and there is no ducking controversial issues and verses with the verse-by-verse analysis.

I found the volume for ACTS to be the most insightful and helpful, since the narration in Acts can be confusing with a constant introduction of new characters and dozens of settings. The Life Application Commentary boils it down and makes it understandable and easy to track.

I highly recommend any Life Application volume, but especially the Acts commentary.

Some insightful questions - The thing that has impressed me about the LifeChange series most is that the way it focuses my reading of a book of the Bible in places I might have missed. Like a good group leader, the book has a way of asking a fairly penetrating question on verses I'd skipped over before.

Also a plus are the cross-references that point you to further reading other parts of the Bible and the small history/context portions that give some deeper understanding to the background of what you are reading. I've definitely be happy with the book.
