From casting himself in the role of a slave, to presenting the Christian as a soldier or an actor, or even showing how we are vessels in the King's house, Paul's gallery of enriching, life-changing story pictures paints for us an indelible picture of the Christian faith.

The waves ebb, and I hear a crunching sound, like boots on gravel. Straining to see, I barely make out . . . What is that A flag No, it's that flapping black material. I think it's the man I swerved to miss. A sweet, melodious voice makes its way through the undulating roar in my ears. 'Let me help you.' Help. Yes, I need help.
