Paulus of Tarsus
A Man Driven by the Word

Book Cover & Preview Text
I am Saul of Tarsus, or Paulus, using my Roman name. I will not add Saint before my name, for I feel that the many noble Saints that grace Heaven are more deserving of that title than I, perhaps. During the time that I walked the Earth, I pontificated what I thought were the teachings of Jesus/Yeshua, and I was not conscious of the future repercussions if my interpretations were incorrect in any way. I was molding Yeshua's words into a religion that would be known as Christianity, with the worshippers being known as the Body of Christ. This concept was against everything that Yshua had taught, I now reallize. He abhorred the idea that people must sit in a box (church) and be taught dogma. He abhorred being given God status versus being known as an example of how Man could raise himself up from the depths of lower humanity. The Kingdom of God needs to be reached via the heart and not through a priest whose level of consciousness could be at a lower level than your own.

About the Book
Let me go back and bring truth and love into my narration, and not pride in my passion for spreading to the Jews and Gentiles what I thought were His Words and the meaning of the Kingdom of God. – Saint Paul
Channeled by Verling CHAKO Priest, Paulus of Tarsus presents the unique viewpoints on Saint Paul by some of the Bible’s most fascinating and influential characters.
Presenters Barnabas, Peter, Luke, and Jesus/Yeshua, share their remembrances of Paul’s time in history. As each person lends a different perspective of Paul’s life, Paul himself struggles in his attempt to set the record straight. He discusses how he lost his way on his Christian walk and even how he asks for Jesus’ forgiveness for incorrectly interpreting the Word.
With brutal honesty, the Presenters challenge our belief systems concerning Paul’s ministry and reinforce Paul’s humanity and his willingness to give his life in service to Jesus and his word. But most importantly, they remind us to give our very best as we travel life’s road.
A unique and stimulating read, Paulus of Tarsus reveals the true nature of Saint Paul’s ministry and encourages you to look at his life in a new light.
