The Donkey of Tarsus: His Tales about the Apostle Paul

By Adele Colvin

Book Overview

The son of a tentmaker, Saul of Tarsus was an ardent defender of the Jewish faith who persecuted followers of Jesus Christ for their beliefs. Riding one of his father's donkeys, Saul set out to punish anyone who believed Jesus was the Messiah. Suddenly on the road to Damascus, he was hit with a blinding light, knocked to the ground, and lost his sight. Saul soon heard the call of Jesus, was baptized as a Christian, and became known as Paul.

After his conversion, Paul traveled in the name of Jesus from Damascus to Antioch, Cyprus, Perga, Iconium, and Lystra to build Christ's church and spread the Christian faith. The humble donkey witnesses the miracles Paul performed and recounts his journey with the apostle in this beautifully illustrated biblical adaptation for children.
