With all of the anti-catholic rhetoric in books and the media, I came across this review and read the book in one night. It turned out to be one of the best books I have read but even more so made me feel good about being a Catholic. While it was a thriller, it was ultimatley about a man’s rediscovery of his faith in God and his belief in everlasting life through the love for his wife.

The review started out:

If Dan Brown’s THE DA VINCI CODE is the anti-matter of Catholic and Christian fiction, then Richard Doetsch’s THE THIEVES OF HEAVEN is the matter. And it does matter because it’s a superb debut novel, a gripping thriller crossed with a strong emotional grid that should make it appeal to a large section of the reading public.

Here is a link to the review:

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought you were talking about the Bible!!!🙂
 
Your link didn’t work for some reason Rick Dini. I managed to find it on Amazon and thought it sounded interesting so I added it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
I think it came out this past spring, i recall seeing it all over the place. I just checked, it came out in May. The guy really had the whole catholic angle down without being preachy and really had a powerful ending involving the hanging of a crucifix on his wall. It just made me feel good. As much as I loved it my wife loved it more.

It really makes you think about how your actions can reflect your beliefs.
 
A you so sure? Hmm. I think in these forums people needs to see also another side of Christian coins. Whaewer you are talking about triller or true is Da Vinci code only small part of another side of this coin.
