Inspired by Bill Martin Jr.'s friendship and writing, Lee Jenkins writes the story of Paul and his very dangerous trip from Crete to the Island of Malta. The watercolors by Todd Jenkins in Two Weeks with Paul: A Shipwreck capture the danger, tension and fear on board the ship. The happy ending on Malta is exciting for all.

The Bible Patterns for Young Readers series is unique among Bible stories for children because they are written for beginning readers, ages 4-7. After parents, other adults or older children read the books to young children, they will pick up the patterns and read the book for themselves.
