Book Description: Told from the point of view of the disciple Luke, the apostle Paul and "Auggie," a modern-day scholar, I, Saul, is a fast-paced story of intrigue and mystery. Readers will be reminded of Indiana Jones and the DiVinci code as they become absorbed in this page-turner by a master storyteller. Along the way they will learn of the fictionalized but plausible story of the life of Saul who relentlessly persecuted Christ's followers prior to his conversion when he became known as Paul.
WC's Review: Author Jerry Jenkins has cleverly juxtaposed the story of God's anointed apostle Paul with the present day discovery of well-preserved papers documenting the complete story of Paul's devotion and thoughts during his final imprisonment in Rome.
Scholars encourage the revelation of Paul's autobiography as the most important discovery since the advent of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Indeed, the suspenseful events surrounding this discovery reveal a maze of intrigue and danger, highlighted by an American theological professor in his efforts to obtain these documents, aided by his resourceful confidant in Rome and his beautiful fiancee, who has ties with the nefarious masterminds who plan to make millions from Paul's writings.
Truly a fascinating read. Highly recommended.
