The story of Paul (fiction), by SJ Burke.

The Torch Bearer is an exciting, scripturally sound narrative account of the life of the apostle Paul. The story begins with Saul’s birth to a rabbinical family in Tarsus, and follows this studious, zealous man through his conversion to Christianity and his first missionary journey. Written at a level accessible to older children and teens, the author expands on the details of Paul’s life as recorded in the New Testament to create a coherent and fascinating story. In the author’s words “the use of imagination to create a total picture of his life is not intended to be disrespectful or dogmatic, but rather to help the reader to relate to Paul as a real person, a friend to love, and an example to follow.
