He was one of the twelve apostles, and of the 27 books in the New Testament, 13 are attributed to him. Paul was on his way to Damascus when he had a vision that changed his life: God revealed his Son, Jesus, to him, followed by a blinding light. Paul then converted to being a follower of Christ. He is the Patron Saint of authors and missionaries because of his writings and acts of service.
