Any number of ancient Christian documents have been discovered over the past century, documents that bear witness to a religion that barely even resembles Christianity as we know it today. What if one of them mysteriously, and illegally, fell into your hands? That's the dilemma facing Dr. Justin Thomas, an internationally acclaimed researcher who's drawn into the intrigue surrounding a recently unearthed 4th century diary, the deeply moving testament of an idealistic young bishop who's being hunted as a heretic, simply because she's a woman, and a member of the Gnostic faith. Heart-rending, enlightening, and more than anything else uplifting, "The Sophia Diary" is a multi-layered story-within-a-story that offers a rare glimpse into the time when Rome officially sanctioned the Orthodox Catholic Church--and set out to destroy all the others. It could very well be described as a mystery, although it could just as well be described as a study in faith and redemption. For the true source of its power isn't so much the compelling story it tells, but the voice of the woman whose religious conviction lies at the very heart of it all. This is a well-researched, controversial novel. It will appeal to anyone who has an interest in early Christian history, but even moreso to those on a personal quest to find spiritual fulfillment . . . because ultimately, and essentially, it is a work of both love and light.

Imagine coming of age in the 1960's, a time of great innocence, idealism, and hope. This novel will transport you back to that time, and perhaps even inspire within you a little of its boundless spirit.
