Dear and Glorious Physician, A Novel about St. Luke



Hi Everyone!


I just finished reading, about a week ago, the absolute best book in the entire universe of the world!!! Dear and Glorious Physician by Taylor Caldwell, is such a great book. It is about the life of Saint Luke, or in his time, Lucanus, adopted son of the noble tribune Diodorus Cyrinus. It is basically a biography of his life. He was the only Gospel writer to have never met or seen Our Lord. He travelled all over Greece, Rome and finally to the Holy Land were he personally spoke to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, the Apostles James and John. He was a handsome man, some say he was Apollo himself. He decided to dedicate himself to work among the poor as a physician. He had a healing power and would you believe it, he was an Atheist! He cursed God and hated him, until his conversion! He started hating God after his derest friend, the young Rubria died, but I will not ruin the stroy any more!! I read this book in about two days and it is approx. 1 and a half inches thick! I cried in it a few times, because it can get very emotional! I recommend to teenagers! A must read for all...
