The Life of Paul

by F.B. Meyer

"F.B. Meyer's devotional studies on biblical characters reflect a rare depth of spiritual experience. These great figures were not so different from ourselves--sometimes weak, indifferent, willful. Yet they had their moments of faith, humility, and courage, and God was able to use these for His greater purposes. God's faithfulness, which not only accepts but transforms such inconsistency, calls us to more effective Christian living.

Another author who has the ability to bring someone to life, to flesh them out and transport you into their life and time. Very inspirational book.

Interesting read, but...
I wanted to know more about Paul, but had to contend with the myth-making and Bible reciting surrounding the presentation. Which makes sense, because that is where we get our information about Paul. But I would have liked more non-religious, non-Christian environment provided. I was looking more for the life and times of Paul and less about a repackaging of the religious Paul.

Meyer Mission #18
Well after a break from Meyer, it has been 15 days since I finished the previous book, we are back with another one.
I am less a fan of his 'biographical' works than his other ones, but there was still enough interesting and inspiring information and thoughts here to make it worth the read.

Excellent Stuff

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had a hard time with the book as I could not follow his writing style similar to what another reviewer wrote. I almost finished it but had to just stop. I was studying the Book of Acts in the Bible and thought it might help with the travels, locations etc but I seemed to become more confused. The problem could have been that I was listening to the book as an audio book and maybe if I had it in hand, I could have followed it better.

Only read half of this because I could get into the writing style, but a decent 'biography' (of sorts) of the apostle Paul

[Dmack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Meyers does an excellent job of showing you who Paul was as a kan and as an apostle; as well as how his life devoted to his work progressed from Damacus road to Rome.
