Paul Sails and Is Shipwrecked and 17 More Stories from the New Testament (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780739638026)

Paul Sails and Is Shipwrecked and 17 More All-time Favorite Bible Stories from the New Testament is a colorful and engaging introduction to key events in the early Christian church, drawn from the Book of Acts in the New Testament. Written by acclaimed children's authors V. Gilbert Beers and Ronald A. Beers-whose books have sold over 17 million copies-this collection is designed especially for young readers and listeners. Each of the 18 stories focuses on the lives and ministry of early Christian leaders, particularly the apostles Peter and Paul.

The book opens with stories of Peter's miraculous healing of Aeneas and the resurrection of Dorcas. It then follows his influence as Cornelius, a Roman centurion, becomes a Christian, and recounts how the believers at Antioch were first called Christians. Peter's imprisonment and divine escape are highlighted before the narrative shifts to Paul's missionary journeys.

Paul's adventures include preaching in foreign lands, converting Lydia, surviving a prison earthquake in Philippi, and speaking at Mars Hill. The book presents dramatic moments, such as Paul being mistaken for a god, being arrested, surviving a shipwreck, and finally arriving in Rome to continue his ministry.

Each story is enhanced by a vivid illustration and accompanied by a QR code that delivers a word-for-word audio narration, making it a perfect read-along resource for children and families.
