Paul the Apostle is an engaging narrative retelling of the life of Saint Paul. It takes us from his childhood as Saul in his father's tent-making workshop and his persecution of the new Church, to his momentous encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus and his transformation into Paul.

Inspired by the religious lessons he gave to young people, Siegwart Knijpenga brings the story of Paul vividly to life in this accessible and fascinating book.
