Saul of Tarsus
P. David Lusk

5.25 x 8 - 224 Pages

There is a plethora of books about Saul of Tarsus, yet most of them focus specifically on his life and activites after his miraculous conversion. Based on real time and events, Saul of Tarsus, a docu-novel explores Saul's life before he became known as Paul. Beginning with Saul's birth through to his conversion, including his marriage and receiving a scolding from a maverick rabbi from Nazareth, this book will delight and inspire readers' imaginations as they are transported to Biblical times.

Since retiring early, David Lusk has emerged as a Christian author who has, in the words of one who critiqued his manuscript, "written a page-turner." In his preface, David states that in addition to established facts such as the resurrection of Jesus and the conversion of Saul, this docu-novel contains possibilities that are not necesarily probabilities. When asked why he wrote this book, David, like C.S. Lewis when discussing miracles, quotes Aristotle, who wrote in Metaphysics 1, "For as bats' eyes are to daylight so is our intellectual eye to those truths which are, in their own nature, the most obvious of all."

"David Lusk, in Saul of Tarsus: a docu-novel, seeks to create a deeper appreciation of the life and labors of the great missionary the Apostle Paul. He accomplishes this by weaving together the biblical account of Paul's life within the context of the cultural patterns, historical events, and traditional customs surrounding his lifetime. It is a fascinating presentation, worthy of your examination."
