Paul

"The author's dictionary defines grit as "firmness of mind or spirit ... unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger." Tough, tenacious, and fiercely relentless in his determination, Paul pursued his divine mission with unflinching resolve. The man modeled grit like no other mentioned in the scriptures. But his message and his style were also marked by grace. He understood and explained grace better than any of his contemporaries. Grace dominated Paul's message and ministry"--Amazon.com.
