Nicholas the Wonderworker: The Path to Holiness.
A Novel of the Life of Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia.

In the fading light of the Roman Empire, in the small Lycian city of Patara, a child was born from tears and desperate prayer. His parents, Theophanes and Nonna, promised their long-awaited son to God, unaware that they were giving the world its greatest wonderworker. This is the story of Nicholas—not the mythical figure draped in legends, but the living, breathing man who walked the dusty roads of Asia Minor. Follow his journey from a boy who lost everything, to a young deacon facing torture in Diocletian's prisons, to the fiery bishop who would strike a heretic at the Council of Nicaea and secretly toss gold through a poor man's window. From the ancient prayers whispered by his grandmother to the stormy sea he calmed with a word, from the sword he stayed from the necks of the innocent to the quiet death in his cell—this is the story of the man behind the mitre.
