No, it's actually about a preacher from the 1940s, but it does sound like a title of a book about Paul from the Bible. I first heard about Rev. Peter Marshall in school I think, and decided the movie might be worth a watch. He was a preacher and Chaplain of the United States Senate. I rented the DVD about his life and really liked it, so I ended up buying a used copy. His widow Catherine Marshall wrote the novel Christy which was made into a TV show back many years ago. They had a hard life at times, but their faith was very amazing.

The Revelation book DH read just a few pages a night and if I remember correctly and he said it was written to be read that way, as a short devotional. The nice thing about Towns writting is it's usually down to earth. I have his intro to Theology book and it's a good, simple reference, but out of print and used copies are pretty expensive these days.
