Preface
Paul the Apostle? How did he get this knowledge and who gave him such understanding. Paul describes this knowledge as a secret that has never been known to man before. The unveiling of this knowledge to him he describes as a face to face personal experience with Jesus Christ himself. The beginning of his ministry started on the road to Damascus, and the intense conversation that took place with Jesus Christ at that time. You most likely have never heard what took place in that conversation, but it is covered in great detail in this book.
What was the driving motivation that allowed Paul to endure such criticism, beatings and being stoned to death, and brought back from the dead? Demon possession is explained, how it works and how Paul deals with it. Exorcism and exorcists are brought to light in an understanding that will definitely engage you in biblical truth. What truly is an exorcist? You are about to find out!
What took place at the first council in Jerusalem dealing with circumcision and following the law? Was it necessary to observed it be saved or born again? For the Gentile no, but for the Jew they believed it was necessary. You will see the fiery words that took place in those discussions between Paul, the apostles and elders.
The final decision that was determined, was only half right. It was the beginning of a great division that took place in the first century church, and in many churches it still is. The ultimate demise and imprisonment of Paul the Apostle stems from the decisions made at this council. The understanding of this biblical truth has never been captured in any book or commentary that I know of. It will challenge you to discover truths that have been void of understanding.
Why Paul wanted to go to Jerusalem this time will be a heart breaker when you understand what motivated him. When you see all the prophetic words that were spoken to him many times, and especially by a legitimate prophet. What motivated him to disregard and
Ignore these words, again it is a heart breaker.
Paul’s courteous treatment during his imprisonment and travel to Rome, which for the most part has been a misnomer. Paul’s last years in Rome where he penned a lot of the New Testament. It’s an adventure of truth that will be enlightening!
At the end of my book I have written:
Pat’s poem in a psalm
It is a kind of psalm, a poem and a riddle. I woke up at 3:30 AM and I heard “two years of one” which made no sense to me, but I wrote it down. The rest of it just came to me almost without thinking, it was effortless. It may take some time to figure out what it is about, it did for me. However, let me know what you think. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my book. I am believing it will open new doors of understanding for you. God bless!

About the Book
Patrick Pietrantano was raised as a Roman Catholic in a traditional Italian household. At the age of twenty, he first heard the term born again. That was a foreign thought that never came up in his many years of his Catholic education. That changed him forever as he endeavored to discover what those words truly meant. For the next forty some years, he made a quest to understand biblical truth in its simplest form. He studied the life of Paul the apostle in detail, and a spiritual understanding began to unfold to him that traditionally has not been taught.
In Simply Paul, Pietrantano shares what was revealed to him. Paul was a man of simple truth in what Paul believed as a pharisee to be God’s will, in the Jewish religion. Paul was among the top in his peers and defended it to the utmost. There came a defining moment that changed the direction in Paul’s life, as he had a direct encounter with Jesus Christ himself. What was talked about in this encounter will change your perception of Paul.
When this change occurred, Paul describes the battle that ensued by being the witness of these direct revelations from Jesus Christ himself. Simply Paul follows Paul’s life and addresses questions often asked, that traditional thought have not captured.
