Having left the Gospels behind, author Sheila Deeth and her Five-Minute Bible Stories continue their bold march into The Acts of the Apostles without a backward glance. In Paul's Purpose, the second installment in The First Christians group of children's stories, she sets the second giant of the Church and one of the foundational pillars of all of Christianity, Saul - Paul of Tarsus, firmly in place. The narrative begins with Saul's boyhood in Tarsus. Driven by pride and ambition, Saul moves up from there to Jerusalem where he enrolls in the prestigious School of Gamaliel. He eventually leaves Gamaliel to work for the High Priest tracking down and arresting followers of the crucified Galilean preacher, Jesus. But on a trip to Damascus, Saul's world and ours undergoes a startling change. Declaring himself to be a Christian, he begins preaching in the synagogues. After unfurling the flag of Christianity in cities across Asia Minor, the author follows Paul, as he's now called, into the belly of the beast -- Nero's Rome. There's no two ways about it; your kids will love this newest Five-Minute Series of Biblical Stories. They're a great way to familiarize youngsters with the Bible.
