You know you're supposed to like him, but you just don't. Maybe it's the authoritarianism, maybe it's the arrogance, maybe it's the views he seems to hold, maybe it's the way that he drones on and on until you're falling asleep. Well ... you're not the only one. None of that is new. Not even the last bit (see Acts 20:9).

But there's a secret to liking an initially unlikeable person like Paul: walk a mile in his moccasins. Or three. This small book aims to take you inside three controversies that Paul faced. Would you have advised him to do anything differently? Would you have done as well as he did? This is a quick and entertaining introduction to the letters of Paul, from which you'll also learn about yourself.

"The warmth of this book thaws the awkward frostiness that currently exists around Paul... I like him more now. And I like this book a lot." Jeff Lucas, author, speaker, broadcaster

"This is a gem of a book for individual or group study; I highly recommend it." Mike Pilavachi, Soul Survivor

"Conrad Gempf is an exceptional communicator and a sideways thinker. He's also effortlessly cool. What he uncovers about Paul will surprise, entertain and challenge you." Martin Saunders, editor of Youthwork Magazine

As I picked up this book and began to read, I had no idea of the treat that was in store for me. I have never 'disliked' Paul, so on the face of it this book is not for me. But it turns out to be a fascinating insight into Paul's relationship with two churches—in Galatia and Corinth—and one individual—Philemon. In his summing up at the end, Conrad Gempf writes "The Bible may not be what you used to think it was. Stop thinking it's about you. God didn't write it about you." You need to read all that precedes that to appreciate what he is saying there. I can thoroughly recommend this book—not only to help you like Paul better but to better understand God's blueprint for living the Christian life.
