The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

With the same color and dramatic power that made Dear And Glorious Physician an international bestseller, Taylor Caldwell now recreates the life of St. Paul in a novel as gigantic as its central figure.

In these pages Paul is not the wooden statue of traditional biographies, not the poor tentmaker from Tarsus employed as a passive instrument of God, but a man of flesh and blood and strong emotions, the pious and intellectual son of a wealthy Roman-Jewish family who was both a scholar and a poet. He is a man whose entire life was overshadowed by a sense of sin and a desire for forgiveness, and his story is told with compassionate understanding of the forces that made him a righteous persecutor of the early Christians and led him to discover his destiny—and his God—on the road to Damascus.
