Rated 5 starsAnother Masterpiece by Swindoll!
Swindoll's book on the Apostle Paul is the 6th in a series of Bible characters and in my humble opinion, the best character study so far.Among the important points Swindoll covers include:1.

Exceptional work is preceded by extended waiting...

Rated 5 starsPractical Applications and Insight from the Life of Paul

Saul persecuted Christians as Hitler persecuted Jews...

Rated 5 starsI'll never think of Paul the same way again
This is a wonderful book. I found myself staying up late so I could read "just one more chapter."I have to admit that in the past I have had trouble with some of Paul's writings, while at the same time, his letters to the churches never fail to deepen my relationship with Christ. But,I always tended to think of Paul as the "saint of saints" and this was very intimidating.This book has helped me to see Paul as a real human...
