The King & the Apostle by Myrtle Nord is the fictionalized story of two men named Saul. Both take their core story from the Bible, yet each brings its title character to vibrant and unforgettable life - Saul the first king of Israel, who degenerated from hero to tyrant; and another Saul, who transformed into the apostle Paul and spread Christianity across the world. A work reflecting a deep faith in the omnipotence of God, The King & The Apostle is confidently recommended as a vibrantly written, fictional chronicle of the good and bad in human nature.

Well timed, during a resurgent interest in things Biblical,comes Myrtle Nord's newest book. Her cogent writing style fits the tumultuous, world-changing times of Saul the King and Saul the Saint, Paul. Her gripping scenes from these obscure millenia drive the reader to dig out detailed old maps to track the intrigue,war,hate and faith--the clashing loyalties of Greek, Roman, and Jew in the far-flung empires. We recognize ancestral traits passed down to the 21st century.
Myrtle Nord spares no blood and thunder to make the two stalwart Sauls of history alive for us today.
