Excerpt from Paul the Dauntless, the Course of a Great Adventure

The stars above were the same that he had watched as he sailed for Cyprus on his first adventure. There was the lift and fall Of the same sea, the same splash Of water from the plunging bows; the same stir Of the fresh night breeze that had cooled his temples. In a strange, intimate way Paul seemed to be standing there looking westward over the rail - just as he stood with Barnabas when they headed for Cyprus.

So, during the long journey in Paul's footsteps, we felt every day that we could see him more clearly. We walked in Tarsus, the city where he was born; and saw boys repeating the verses that he learned there. With him we watched the tawny river Cydnus run from the white mountains of Taurus through the great plain down to the shimmering sea.
