Though the Apostle Paul is not the most well-known name to children, it is important that they study and know about him for God used Paul to reveal a special message for us today. A Man Named Paul is a book written especially for young people, but it can be used by those of any age. The studies cover not only the life of Paul, but also the unique ministry that God called him to, and the special message that was entrusted to him, the revelation of the mystery. (41 pp.)
