One Faithful Life: A Harmony of the Life and Letters of Paul. John F. MacArthur Jr. (editor). 2019. 528 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: Paul was unique among the apostles.
One Faithful Life could easily be the companion to MacArthur's book, One Perfect Life. One Perfect Life was the harmony of the gospels--with a blending of select Old Testament and New Testament verses that point to Christ. One Faithful Life is essentially a chronological 'harmony' of Acts with all the letters of Paul. (Some letters of Paul are inserted into Acts. Many are not. But they are presented chronologically.)
Both One Faithful Life and One Perfect Life use the New King James Version of the Bible. Both feature study notes by John F. MacArthur, Jr. Both are arranged into small portions or sections.
I personally enjoyed One Perfect Life more. Just about anyone can read Acts and the letters of Paul chronologically. There isn't any real blending occurring. There is no true harmonizing.
Is it essential? Is it necessary? Probably not. Is it nice to have? Sure.
