Taylor Caldwell's Great Lion of God, to which I sentenced myself as a Lenten penance. It's a fictionalized biography of St. Paul, and I'm the first to tell you, he is NOT my favorite saint. I consider everything he wrote as commentary and I'm not sure it should be included in canonical scripture. That said, this is a pretty ponderous tome and I'll be glad to get done with it. Every time I think I am, another chapter pops up. I'm ready for some light reading, TYVM! It's a companion piece to Dear and Glorious Physician, which I loved, and I, Judas, which I have but haven't yet read---maybe next Lent.
