A Novel of Sin and Redemption, Inspired by the life of Saint Moses the Black.
Moe ruled the city with gun and muscle. In a single night, he lost everything. Hunted and out of options, he finds sanctuary at an Orthodox monastery, where an elder meets his violence with unyielding grace. As his old life claws him back, Moe must choose: revenge or redemption. The cross, or the gun.
Moses: The Cross and the Gun is a contemporary novel based on the life of Saint Moses the Black. Readers follow a gang leader's journey toward repentance and struggle with "the old man" and the past. The book is heavily inspired by ancient Christian writings and desert wisdom, with themes from Saint Anthony the Great, Saint Macarius, John Cassian, Evagrius, Saint Theophan the Recluse and more. An honest story of repentance, in unflinching prose.
