I published my notes and the supplementary materials from the Paul Seminar we attended in Switzerland
I Didn’t Write a Book
I put my notes and all the supplementary materials from the course in printed form…
I took a lot of notes in Switzerland. And Maureen Menard provided all sorts of interesting and valuable supplementary materials. (Including photos of her notebook with notes and diagrams of what we discussed in class). I wanted to review all this great stuff to get the most I could out of the seminar.
One thing led to another, and I decided to lay them out as if this were a book. I found a company called Blurb online that would print a black and white paperback book — yes a single book. I couldn’t resist.

The seminar consisted of
Reading N.T. Wright’s Paul: A Biography
Pre-Intensive assignments to complete before gathering
A 12-day Intensive at the YWAM campus near Lausanne, Switzerland
A 2,000 word paper, (that was the limit I was allowed… there was so much to write about I could have easily done 3,000!)
Some Post-Intensive assignments
So I gathered all my notes and went through and edited them. I gathered up as many of the supplementary materials as I could find. And I added in my homework from both the pre-intensive and post-intensive phases.
I think my favorite part is a compilation of all the books, YouTube videos, articles, podcasts, and websites mentioned throughout the intensive — all together there were 50+ resources… And yes, there is a part of me that wants to order every book listed and get started on them!
After it was all said and done, I have a 200+ page paperback book on my bookshelf. And, just last week, I referred to it as I prepared a talk for our staff on God’s Generosity…
