My 30th Book: Mark - The Gospel of the Servant

Reaching the milestone of 30 published books is looking back and seeing a long road, traveled with an unwavering passion for telling stories. Today I celebrate this thirtieth literary milestone with you by delivering the second volume of our most ambitious journey: the Voices of the Kingdom Collection.

If in the first book (Matthew) we were introduced to the "Gospel of the King" with the epic scope and grand social compassion of Charles Dickens, now I must ask you to catch your breath. The scenery has changed drastically.

The Gospel of Mark is the account of urgency. There is no time for genealogies or a serene childhood. It is the Gospel of continuous action, of raw survival, where the word "immediately" dictates the pace. It is the story of a God who became a Servant and marches, sweating and exhausted, healing the sick, casting out violent demons, and facing death head-on.

To rewrite this breathless pace, without losing a single comma of theological and historical fidelity, I needed a pen that cut away the excesses. A raw, direct, and instinctual prose. That is why I summoned the genius of the master of American survivalist literature: Jack London.

In Mark: The Gospel of the Servant, poetic language gives way to the muscle of the narrative. Through London's aesthetic (reminiscent of the masterful rawness of The Call of the Wild), you will not just read about the miracles; you will feel your throat dry with the dust of Galilee. You will feel the primal terror of the disciples in the storm, the despair of the epileptic boy's father, the tension of a clandestine trial, and the bare, raw pain of the wooden cross.

The journey is hard and holds no romanticism. The Master leads the way, with cracked feet and a resolute gaze toward Calvary.

Forget mild narratives. Take a deep breath and join us on this relentless walk.

My 29th Book: Matthew - The Gospel of the King

Reaching the milestone of 29 published books is a moment of profound gratitude in a writer’s life. Looking back and seeing every story I helped bring into the world is deeply moving. But I must confess that the project I’m announcing today has a different flavor. It is, without a doubt, the most ambitious, reverent, and immersive work I have ever dared to create.

Since the advancement of new technologies and Artificial Intelligence, I have noticed a global fascination with “alternative versions” and creative adaptations of everything we know. As a Christian and an author, a question began to echo in my mind: What if we could apply this concept to the greatest story of all time, uniting the sacred text with the highest classic literature?

That is how the Voices of the Kingdom Collection was born.

The idea is simple in its essence, but colossal in its execution: to rewrite each of the Gospels, maintaining 100% theological and historical fidelity, but assuming the pen, style, and genius of great masters of world literature in the public domain.

To open this monumental series, I chose the Gospel of Matthew. Since this is the gospel focused on proving that Jesus is the promised Messiah—the King—the narrative called for an epic tone, a deep social compassion, and a fierce critique of the theatrical hypocrisy of the powerful. There was no doubt: I cast the grandmaster of English literature, Charles Dickens, to be the “voice” of this first book.

In Matthew: The Gospel of the King, you will not read fragmented verses. You will dive into a continuous epic novel. Through the vivid characterizations and monumental prose of Dickens, you will feel the heat of the sun in the Sermon on the Mount, the suffocating tension in Herod’s palace before the Magi, the fury of the waves in the Sea of Galilee, and the silent majesty of the cross.

The essence of the Sacred remains untouched; only the frame has been carved with the fine wood of classic literature. The result is a reading that moves, captivates, and makes us walk through the dust of Israel alongside the Son of God.

The Master is teaching on the mountain. I invite you to sit on the grass and listen.
