The Astonishing and Daunting Journeys of the Apostle Paul
Paul’s adventurous journeys did not end with his 3 missionary journeys and voyage to Rome! After being released from house arrest, Paul went on a “4th journey” and left us “hints” in his writings as to those he would see, this would be his “Farewell Tour.” He probably first sailed to Spain, then sailed to the island of Crete and left Titus there (Tit. 1:5). Then sailed to Miletus and walked to Colossae to see the brethren there and to spend time with Philemon, thanking him for his forgiveness of his runaway slave. Then he walked to Ephesus and eventually sailed to Philippi to come full circle in checking on everyone he wrote to while under house arrest. This book completes Paul’s Fairwell Tour before he met his fate back in Rome with Nero.
The accomplishments of the apostle Paul inspired me to write this book. His achievements were quite remarkable, and more people need to know of his tremendous contribution to the New Testament.
This work on Paul’s Fourth Missionary Journey is an excellent integration of the letters of Paul’s and Luke’s presentation of the three journeys and trip to Rome, leading to a lovely, plausible reconstruction of a Fourth missionary journey of Paul. It is well-written and reader-friendly. I plan on using Tom’s manuscript in my Acts classes. I’ve never seen anything like it!

very interesting but short summary of Paul’s journeys
First I am a friend of the author so be advised when reading my review. This is a well written but simply written summary of Paul’s life and journey. It is written at a high school level and would be appropriate for use in jr high or high school reading and teaching, though it seems best as a reference book not as a textbook. It is relatively short (I read it in only a few hours) but well worthwhile to read. I think what I admired the most about the book is how Paul interacted with his companions we see mentioned in the New Testament. (The author also does a good job explaining travel in the ancient world). The author uses primarily secondary sources (but provides a good selection of these as well as a good collection of video sources). I read a kindle version and it was very easy to follow the footnotes within the text.
All in all this is a short but fun and informative read that I recommend highly.
