Examine the life of the Apostle Paul and the influence his singular journey from gospel detractor to gospel advocate had on his teachings. Unlike books that focus on his doctrinal contributions, this volume places special emphasis on Paul’s personal life—his eccentricities, struggles, setbacks, and triumphs.

New Testament expert Thomas Wayment provides readers with a sense of Paul’s perspective, from his stay in Arabia after his conversion, to the disappointing results of his first missionary journey, to his eventual success in bringing the gospel to the Gentiles. The way Paul endured his trials teaches us much about successfully responding to adversity. Experience the greatness of Paul’s character as never before.
