It is so wonderful to know that Taylor Caldwell's books are still in circulation and making a comeback. Her novels are packed with details specific to the times in which the characters lived. She transports the reader back to the time of the Apostles and brings them to life.

"Dear and Glorious Physician" was required reading in high school. It was the first of many Caldwell books I have read and continue to treasure. Another excellent work is:

This is the story of St. Paul, a Jew in love with his faith! I would encourage everyone to read at least one of these books. You will not be disappointed.

My instant answer: LOL! (Without reading the thread.)

Because St. Luke tells the complete story of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Now, I’ll go back and read the thread. LOL!

I love these two books. I can’t say enough about what they teach you about the times of the Apostles.

My absolute favorite book by Taylor Caldwell is “Grandmother and the Priests.” It’s a collection of “tales” about priests and their struggles to minister to their various flocks. If you like Taylor Caldwell and Celtic characters, I think you will enjoy it immensely.

I named my middle daughter Taylor because of the influence these three Caldwell books had on my life.

With one very hot sex scene which like all sixties novels explains everything.
