The medication had side effects of depression and suicidal tendencies. The study of Paul's life pulled me through these struggles and the years of works that followed lead to this novel on the apostle's life.
Paul's perseverance and devotion has inspired my spiritual life. Also, having been on several mission journeys to foreign countries, I appreciate how he endured the challenges of establishing churches, maintained his boldness amidst adversity. and faithfully lived his life for the gospel of Christ.
I've taught classes for students from five to eighty-five years old on Paul's life over the last three decades. My research and biblical studies have given me a deep appreciation of the Apostle Paul's life and writings. My travels to the cities he taught in have offered insights into first century culture, life and traditions.
I live in Tennessee, was born in Pittsburgh and reared in New York and Pennsylvania. I'm a board member of Orphan’s, a non-profit organization that supports orphanages across the globe. I've been an economics professor at SUNY and State University of Tennessee.ver menos
