El testimonio de la vida del gran sanador Lucano, más conocido como san Lucas, el tercer evangelista. En su espíritu habitaba la profunda sabiduría médica alejandrina. En sus manos tenía el poder de preservar la vida y vencer la muerte. Lucano había adquirido sus conocimientos en el poderoso y espléndido Imperio babilónico, cuna de la ciencia, y en la magnífica Biblioteca de Alejandría. Durante el largo viaje que lo llevaría desde Roma hasta Tierra Santa, Lucano se convirtió al cristianismo y utilizó su arte y devoción para aliviar la desesperación de aquellos que encontró en su camino. Una novela atrevida que combina de manera honesta la descripción de una sociedad cruel con la infinita ternura y humanidad de san Lucas."

Dialogues with the Devil: A Novel

"From a #1 New York Times–bestselling author: Lucifer and the Archangel Michael debate the fate of humanity in the final nights before the apocalypse. Upon the end of days, Lucifer, the Fallen One, that Infernal of Infernals and Murderer of Hope, wonders if his Father will bother to raise another race after Armageddon. After all, he'll only have to tempt them—again—to certain death. Their choice, not his. On God's behalf, Archangel Michael responds. So begins a series of letters between two brothers, at once cordial and combative, about their purpose, their fears, their familial estrangement, and their Father's great folly: the human race. Equally defensive, unrepentant, objective, and, for a time, amused, they challenge each other on science and spirituality, physical love and emotional love, the crucifixion, and the crimes committed by man. They deliberate the virtues of empathy and vengeance, redemption and punishment, and the laws of the Bible versus its lies. Their civil discourse soon becomes a heated trial of wills."

Your Sins And Mine

"In this terrifying fable of a world without faith, first there were the changes in weather. Lack of rain was turning the plains of Iowa, Kansas, and Idaho into arid blocks of parched earth. In the North, it was already January, and no sign of snow. All over the world, the seas were shrinking, and creeks and rivers looked like dried scars. But for Pete, the terrified son of a midwestern farming family, the first great omen came one unseasonably warm winter night when the moon simply vanished from a cloudless sky, and the clocks stopped. Soon, Pete's family farm becomes a prison as a strange sulfurous fog rolls across the land. In its wake, poisonous weeds grow wild, choking to death anything - and anyone - within reach. On the streets is a relentless army of scorpions with a sting that kills. Yet, when the government finally moves in, it's not to protect; it's for a reason far more deadly and absolute than anyone can imagine. Now Earth's survivors face something even more frightful than nature: the evil of men. One man fights to uncover a secret that will save the world in this story of courage, passion, and the will to believe."
