(Phoenix, Arizona) Steve Laube, founder of the Steve Laube Agency announced today that the agency has signed Saul of Tarsus to write in various Christian book categories starting with his debut release in Fall 2014. 

Saul will be writing under the pen name of Paul, a name with special meaning to the author, given him after a dramatic personal experience several years ago while on an international trip to Syria.

“I am very pleased with this signing because of the breadth of works that Saul (Paul) will be able to create. From travel guides to church planting, we will have a wide variety of proposals available to Christian publishers for the next several years,” noted Steve Laube.

Concerns about Paul as an author has been expressed from a number of people. Because of his past incarceration, accusations that he damaged a prison during an escape (he was never charged), and his civil disobedience activity while preaching, have combined to make Paul a bit of a concern to some publishers.

Acknowledging a challenge for the agency, Laube said, “Honestly, a problem with Paul has been his travel schedule, which keeps him busy for years at a time. We are hoping with a renewed commitment to writing that we will see some amazing work coming from him. If we can just keep him out of boats for a while, we should be able to meet manuscript deadlines.”

Proposals for the first three titles by Paul are being developed and will soon be available for consideration by publishers.  They are:

Be Careful What You Pray For: Earthquakes, Conversions and More

I Kissed Sailing Goodbye: What the Rocks Near Malta Taught Me

God is Smarter Than Me: A Look Back at Decades in Ministry

In addition, a short impulse gift book is under development titled, First Corinthians 13: Good for More than Weddings.
