Chris Raschka, Paul writes (a letter) (Eerdmans, 2018)
Last Friday was the day that the church remembers the conversion of St. Paul. I was going to write about this book, but forget, so three days late here it is.
This book is for 'young readers' and it introduces children to Paul the letter writer, rather than the Paul of Acts.
We remember Paul because of his letters, but his letters are not easy to read, and so Raschka has found a way to bring this important part of Paul's life and this huge part of the New Testament alive.
It takes little bits from each of the letters - mostly Paul's encouragement to his churches to act in Christ-like ways.
The pictures and map are beautiful to go a long with it.
It will help younger readers, and maybe also older readers, get an idea of who Paul wrote to, some of Paul's friends, and some of the things he said.
