This is the FIRST musical I ever sang in in the summer of 1973. I played the Apostle Paul. I had never sang in public until a friend invited me to the youth choir. I was 17 and had prayed to receive Christ earlier that year! WOW!
I was with our local church choir who presented this Musical... almost 40 years ago. We sang in Bangkok, Thailand. Our first mission trip as a teen.... Listening to it all over again tonight brings back fond and precious memories of our teenage years and how God made us His instruments...
This is the Only Christian Album , out of 40 I have, that has literally made me cry openly ! When I think of the many hardships , me & my Family have gone through, as Born Again Christians , since 1971 , it's Encouraging to see the " Perils of Paul " the great Apostle . He was in opposition to JESUS , the True Savior , but , no doubt, many Christians were praying for him . He was Born Again , ( Saved , see John 3 verse 3 ) on the road to Damascus , & encountered the Risen Jesus . By God's Saving Grace, Paul then went on, to be Divinely Inspired , to write many books in the New Testament ! If Paul was able, by God's Amazzing Grace, to go through all that, then, any Christian, who Truly Trusts in GOD & His Enabling Gace, can Overcome also . Hallelujah . Thank You so much , Bill Tewson, Cam Floria , Lex de Azevedo , & the Continental Singers, New Hope , & everyone else , who had any part in making this Wonderful Album . May GOD continue to Bless you , & all of your Families, with His Wisdom & Revelation , ( study Ephesians 1 verses 15 to 20 ) This is a truly Life Changing Experience, in The Lord . I'm praying , that all Christians will receive this great Truth , which will get you into the " Meat " of God's Word , which allows us , to become the true , Diligent Disciples , we know our Lord wants us all to become .I never heard one word, about this , for 17 years , as a Born Again Christian, & I know, that perhaps most Christians have not . So, I want to mention this , for all to read , & study , & Receive ! Thank You, once again , for making possible , by listening to the Lord , such a Great Christian Album . I hope it won some awards , because , it is certainly worthy of them . Sincerely , Brother Jim ( Hilo ) on FaceBook . By God's Amazing Grace, God's Bible Myth Buster . Dear Reader , if you have not yet been Born Again ( stdy John chapetr 3, & Romans 10 verses 8 to 13 ) please make today the day , that You accept Jesus , God The Son, as Your Personal Savior, my praying now , in Faith . Amen . God Bless .
Thank you so very much for the wonderful memories. This was one of my favourite albums growing up and it inspired me to be a better Christian. May God Bless you and yours.
I toured with a drama/singing group for 6 years and this was one of the musicals that we did. I played Paul in this and my best friend played Luke. We toured for 12 months with this as our primary set. Great memories!!!
I NEVER understood why this fantastic musical never became a Christian Standard, performed in churches like we have Christmas Cantatas, etc. It is so good to hear this again. For some reason, That which I would not, that do I do was a favorite to me. It surely made Paul's words memorable in a way dedicated memorization could not.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful musical on the life of Paul. I have been searching for this musical for the longest time. What a joy to listen to all these wonderful songs again!! It is so uplifting and every verse is literally taken from Paul's epistles. Thank you.
I first heard this in the 70s in my teens too. Hi Zwankemp - would you or anyone here know why Cam Flora or the Continental Singers, or whoever the rights owners are, not have this album remastered to CD quality without the natural hiss and pops of LP audio? I am sure a whole generation who grew up loving this album, and the generations that come after us, would pay good money to have this album in CD quality audio. I am afraid that as the original singers age, the beauty of this album will be lost to time and we will be more the poorer for it. The life of Paul has always been an inspiration to so many, but as was his testimony, his one aspiration was to serve the Lord and to know Him fully, even to suffer for His name. While I am not even close to Paul's level of devotion to Jesus, in my own little way, the fullness of the Lord is made manifest in my weakness. To God be all glory.
