Paul, Man on a Mission: The Life and Letters of an Adventurer for Jesus

by Bob Hartman, Conrad Gempf, Dave Smith (Illustrator)

Overview

Paul wasn't one of Jesus' friends - in fact he really didn't like the whole "Jesus crew" at all. They were wrong! Even worse, they were telling lies that confused people about how to live properly in God's way. But Paul's life-journey is about to be dramatically turned upside down when he actually meets Jesus himself. In a blinding-flash encounter he is given an assignment from God in a mission that will change the lives of Jewish and Gentile people across the world from the first century right through to today. Here storyteller and scribe, Maximus details Paul's dangerous, thrilling, and adventurous journeys.
