Paul, the great apostle, a man like all of us who was chosen by God for a grand mission, thus becoming a giant of thought and spirit who rose above the minds of his time and those of subsequent centuries, almost to the point of being incomprehensible to small human intellects, as the apostle Peter already wrote about Paul's letters: "In them there are some things hard to understand..." (2 Peter 3:16). Endowed with great human and Christian character, Paul was a thinker, preacher, tireless missionary, and church founder. His life embodied and extraordinarily highlighted the truth of the Gospel. He moved among people with an understanding of their problems and a desire to show them a better way. He felt gripped by a great vision and was determined to implant it in the heart of humanity. Dr. Achille A. Caprino was one of the most important members of the Italian-American evangelical community. He met the Lord in 1934, at the age of 19, and from 1938 he began his work of evangelization and teaching among the Italian people. In 1941 he was ordained to the ministry by the Assemblies of God in America and began teaching in their Bible schools, of which he became Superintendent for the Italian branch in 1969. He pastored six Italian churches in America. He completed his studies first at the Reformed Episcopal Seminary, then at Temple University and the American School of Law where he graduated with a law degree. He was the founder and director of the Evangelical Bible Correspondence School.

For many, God does not exist. For others, God exists, but has nothing to do with this world and the individuals who inhabit it. Perhaps there is a force, a motor behind the processes of history and creation. But a personal God? That concept of God slowly faded after the atrocities of recent centuries. Science and technology have taken its place. But will they be able to save the world? To save our lives? To instill peace and happiness in us? The Christian faith claims to be a source of liberation and redemption. A source of inner freedom. But is there a truly free life? A daily life full of energy, power, enthusiasm, a life of “wow”? And if it exists, how do we make it our own? The author wants to show, based on the Bible, that it is indeed possible to face life from a perspective of victory. It is not a utopia, but a promise of the Bible!

If there is a practical demonstration of the saying "Behind every great man there is always a great woman," it is represented by the union of Giuseppe Di Biagio and his wife Rosemarie. The renowned preacher and evangelist, one of the foremost scholars of the biblical subject of "The Return of Jesus" or "Eschatological Preaching," indeed had by his side for over forty years a woman who lived the role of wife, supporter of her husband, and member of a family whose foundation is Jesus Christ, in the deepest Christian sense. In this short writing, A Life in Service of God, Rosemarie Di Biagio wished to recall, with all the tenderness of a life partner, some significant moments of her human and Christian experience with her husband, a few years after Giuseppe's death in March 2010. A portrait that confirms Giuseppe Di Biagio's figure as one of the most important for the Italian evangelical movement, but above all, a true man of God, of great faith and determination. A man who, together with his wife, always sought and found God's guidance for his life and for his Christian testimony.

What makes me understand if someone has passed through the fire of divine love is not how they speak of God, it is how they speak of earthly things.
