Saul the Slayer falls from his horse to the ground, his life changed forever.
Jesus' worst enemy is about to become His best friend, and history will flow in a new channel. As Saul the Slayer becomes Paul the apostle, you are there, watching him and his friends–Peter, Barnabas, Silas, Luke, John–turn the world upside down.
Welcome to the acts of the Apostles as you've never known it before. Flat Bible characters suddenly jump into rich 3-D. Ancient stories come alive through the eyes of Bible-times children who are right there on the scene.
Starting with a fishy encounter with Peter, you'll watch Jesus ascend into the sky, then see Ananias and Sapphira drop dead, all through the eyes of Elihu, the son of the man whose ear Peter cut off in the garden. And that's just the beginning. Antonia, Thaddeus, Sulimon, Dion, and all the rest will keep you smack-dab in the center of the action during the exciting cradle years of the Christian church. Let's go!
