This book/study guide joins many previously published books about the person portrayed in the Bible as Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles. His name is well known, but his personal story may not be. Having been brought up in an orthodox Jewish family with strict adherence to the Law of Moses, Paul's encounter on a rural road changed the direction of his life. Once violently opposed to Christianity, he became the primary instrument used by God to spread the true meaning of the resurrection of Christ to people living in the first century. This is the story of an ordinary man who traveled by land and sea, experiencing hardships, beatings and even imprisonment in order to follow the command of God to preach His Word. This book portrays Paul not as a Saint, but as a person who was intelligent, humble, compassionate, a strong advocate for Christ and one who never compromised what he believed to be the truth.
