Summary

The novel event of the year!

Michael is a modern young man without any attachment to the Christian religion. But one day he sets off to visit the excavation site of Khirbet Qumran - a haunting dream has suggested that he travel there. At his destination he finds a suitcase made of a metal that does not exist on earth. This suitcase contains film footage showing the life of an intimate friendship, a friendship of the young writer Joshua with the man Jesus. While watching the film, Michael realizes more and more that he has more in common with the man Jesus Christ than he ever thought possible.

This historical novel about Jesus Christ and his connection to the great holy family of the Santinians is embedded in a heartfelt love story full of passion. His groundbreaking revelations reveal the unique charism of the biblical and yet so timelessly alive person of Jesus. The book has the potential to become a classic of spiritual literature. Exciting and down to earth. Perhaps you too will be left speechless at the end and wonder whether it might not have happened in exactly the same way ...

"The life's work of the author, on which he researched and wrote for over nine years. Every part of the plot is well-founded and conscientiously researched - as incredible as it may seem at first glance."

"A wonderful book!" - Elias

The novel is also available in German as a book and as an eBook.

    North and South is a social novel that tries to show the industrial North and its conflicts in the mid-19th century as seen by an outsider, a socially sensitive lady from the South. The story: the heroine, Margaret Hale, is the daughter of a Nonconformist minister who moves to the fictional industrial town of Milton after leaving the Church of England. The town is modeled after Manchester, where Gaskell lived as the wife of a Unitarian minister. The change of lifestyle shocks Margaret, who sympathizes deeply with the poverty of the workers and comes into conflict with John Thornton, the owner of a local mill, also a friend of her father. After an encounter with a group of strikers, in which Margaret attempts to protect Thornton from the violence, he proposes to her, telling her that he is in love with her; she rejects his proposal of marriage, mainly because she sees it as if it were out of obligation for what she had done. Later, he sees her with her fugitive brother, whom he mistakes for another suitor, and this creates further unresolved conflict. Margaret, once she believes she has lost his affection, begins to see him in another light, and eventually they are reunited. (Summary from Wikipedeia)

    Wulfe knew his place—until Christina taught him to hope for more... 
    An orphan and a man who has fought for his own survival, Wulfe is a Templar knight sworn to the order for life. He will defend the order and his brethren to his last, but protests when he is included in a mission to deliver a package to Paris on the cusp of an attack on Jerusalem. The assignment so vexes him so that he seeks distraction in a Venetian brothel. Wulfe does not expect to encounter a courtesan of beauty and wit, her appeal for his assistance—much less his own desire to fulfill her request... 
    Christina recognizes immediately that the grim knight offers the chance to escape a despised life and reclaim her legacy. All she has to do is convince Wulfe to accompany her out of the city, a challenge that demands more than the power of her touch—when Wulfe is attacked, she seizes the opportunity to prove her value to him and his quest, uncertain whether her wits will be sufficient. 
    As attacks mount and danger engulfs the small company, Christina is the one who guesses the contents of the Templar package—and holds the key to its successful delivery. Wulfe is shocked to realize that she has awakened the heart he forgot he possessed—and when she risks herself to see his mission completed, he must choose between his duty and his newfound love...
