Preface
Dear Theophilus,
Greetings to your and to your family. I was glad to hear how much you liked the second book I sent you about the events which followed Jesus' return to the Father. You wrote to ask if I could write a third book and continue this account from where I had left off, with the apostle Paul in prison. I regret that at my age and with my physical condition, it isn't possible for me to undertake the traveling, correspondence, and research necessary for such a task. That will need to be left to others.
However, you also mentioned that your grandchildren are eager readers of my writings. By the way, how are they doing in their studies? Is Gaius still planning to study medicine?
When I heard of the interest these young people have, I decided to send you something which I hope will especially appeal to them. This is something I could prepare without extra research and travel, since

I had on hand a number of short manuscripts among those I had collected before writing my other books.*
From these accounts, I've selected some written by young peoplethat is, they were young when they met Saulor Paul, as he was later called. Each of these stories gives a different glimpse into Paul's life and personality. You will no doubt recognize that I had already made some use of these letters in my own earlier narratives, but there was much more than I could use then. I have edited these stories to fit them together into a suitable whole, but I hope you'll still hear all of them speaking in their own personal ways. I've also arranged them in chronological order according to when these youths had their encounters with Paul.
