The writings of Paul have inspired readers throughout history. First a violent enemy of Christ, Paul not only put his faith in the risen Lord but penned 13 letters of the New Testament while being beaten, shipwrecked, snake bitten, imprisoned, and chased out of town. Learn about the passion for Jesus that drove this hero of the faith by making him your companion during your devotional and prayer times with God. Taken from Chuck Swindoll’s Great Days with the Great Lives devotional book, these snapshots of Paul’s life and struggles will challenge you, too, to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14).
