About the Book
Although Gabriel Bonaci has achieved great success in life as measured by society, the experience of war as a US marine has changed him in a deep and fundamental way. He seeks help from his devout family, and the resulting search for a worthy purpose in life leads him to a monastic life, one that he hopes will enable him to rid himself of the horrors of war and the evil that has permeated his mind and soul.
When several instances of angelic sightings occur around the world, it seems to signal the intercession of God and the possible beginning of Revelation. These are the triggers for a strange series of events that develop into a worldwide investigation of what many believe to be the precursor of the end times. Even stranger, Theresa, Gabriel’s sister, an obscure Carmelite nun from a small hamlet in Wisconsin, appears to be at the center of everything. Now only time will tell what effect these events will have on Gabriel—and the world.
In this religious novel, a man struggling with his purpose in life challenges God to end the persistent growth of evil in the world and becomes witness to the start of the end times.
