Paul

<p>Saul of Tarsus didn't set out to change the world. He set out to police it. Armed with letters of authority and a conscience sharpened into a weapon he hunted the first Christians with the calm certainty of a man convinced he was doing God a favor. Then the light found him on the road to Damascus-and everything he knew about holiness mercy and power cracked wide open.<br><em>Paul: The Reluctant Revolutionary</em> is a vivid psychologically honest biography that reads like theology in motion. It traces Paul's story from the contradictions of cosmopolitan Tarsus to the intellectual crucible of Jerusalem through collapse and blindness into a vocation that would outlast empires. Without resorting to academic jargon or sentimental gloss the book shows how conviction without compassion becomes cruelty-and how grace can rewire a life without erasing its past.<br>For readers who want faith with a backbone and prose with a pulse this is Paul as you've rarely met him: brilliant stubborn haunted remade. The result is a bracing portrait of the man whose letters still set hearts on fire-and a reminder that God's revolutions often begin with those least willing to participate.</p>
