Synopsis

You've never read a saint story like this before.

Moe ruled the city with gun and muscle. In a single night, he lost everything. Hunted and out of options, he hides in an Orthodox monastery, where an elder meets his violence with unyielding grace.

When the old life claws him back, Moe has to choose: revenge or redemption. The cross, or the gun.

A gritty Orthodox Christian novel of sin and redemption, inspired by the life of Saint Moses the Black.

This is not a sanitized saint story.Moses: The Cross and the Gun is a fast-paced, unflinching novel that follows a gang leader's journey toward repentance, and his struggle with the "old man". Violence meets grace in a Desert Fathers-inspired story rooted in the teachings of Saint Anthony the Great, Saint Macarius, Evagrius, John Cassian, and Saint Theophan the Recluse.

This novel is for you if you love:

  • The lives of the Saints and Desert Fathers
  • Honest, unsanitized stories of repentance
  • Character-driven fiction with real spiritual depth
