No-one could be more determined to uphold tradition than Saul of Tarsus.  Any follower of Jesus of Nazareth was his target, until he suddenly “saw the light” – by meeting Jesus himself.  Filled with new understanding, he became a tireless preacher of Jesus Christ and turned the world upside down through his powerful teaching.

Paul was a restless dynamo.  Travelling far and wide by land and sea he preached, argued and convinced, often in the face of violent opposition.  He formed new congregations wherever he went or strengthened existing ones.  Everywhere, in towns and cities across the empire, Paul showed his great concern for every member – or potential member – of the fast-growing body of believers who were soon called Christians.

Upside Down with Paul presents Paul’s story, combining parts of his letters with the framework of Acts, interleaving it with the text of the Berean Literal Bible and many short sketches – fictional glimpses of Paul’s life and work. This is the life of Paul in a way you’ve never seen it before.

The book closely traces the Bible's descriptions of the life of Paul through three exhausting missionary journeys, two years spent in prison because of false charges laid by vindictive enemies, a dangerous trip to Rome as a prisoner, and two more years spent there as a prisoner.  We marvel at the stamina and determination of this man who could never do enough to repay Jesus for his grace and forgiveness.
