David’s Awakening
Prequel to Apocatastasis Series
“David's Awakening” is set in the 17th century and touches on the hardships endured by the Waldensian Church. The story follows seventeen-year-old David, who, in a moment of drunken recklessness, makes several choices he later comes to regret. He must confront not only Christians and questions of faith, but also his past and pride, in order to discover whether he can rebuild a future from the shattered fragments of his life. The guiding biblical verse of this book is: “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers…” (Malachi 3:24).
The story unfolds partly on a fictional island near France and partly in the Alps, in Savoy. While the main characters and plotlines are fictional, the events surrounding the massacre of the Waldensian Church are based on historical events that took place in 1655.

First chapter:
The Infernal Plan
Apocatastasis Series 1
The young Count Nicolas Renard has great ambitions, but his plans misfire. For many months the Bible becomes his constant companion. Nicolas is determined to prove that what is written in it does not truly reflect the Greek original—and he knows that his future depends on whether he can defend his convictions. The Infernal Plan is a story about repentance and an unlikely friendship. At its heart lies the theme of crime and punishment—not only earthly justice, but also the question of eternal judgment. Could there really be such a thing as everlasting hell? Can people resist God’s love forever? Nicolas must face not only these questions, but also his own past and the punishment awaiting him for his infernal plan.
Although the book reflects a minority view of hell, it also portrays how differing theological opinions can turn Christians against each other. Is it possible for David and his old friend Jean to find their way back to one another when their views of salvation have grown so far apart? Is there any option left besides parting in hostility—or is there still something they could share?
The story takes place on a fictional island near France in the year 1672. Apocatastasis means “restoration,” and the book is a meditation on the teaching of the restoration of all things and of reconciliation.

The Reconciliation of Lucifer with Christ
Companion book to Apocatastasis Series
At first glance, the fiery lake in the Bible seems like one of its most terrifying images—yet it may be one of the most beautiful pictures of God’s love.
Malachi 3:2 says God is like a refiner’s fire and a launderer’s soap. In Revelation, strong clues suggest that the fiery lake refers to this imagery. A key verse, Revelation 14:11, does not speak of “torment” in the original Greek but of a “touchstone”—a tool used to test gold’s purity. In refining gold, fire is essential, and so is sulfur: it separates impurities from the pure metal. The goldsmith would refine the gold for a set time—until everything was pure. The Young’s Literal Translation renders Revelation 20:10 as: “to the ages of the ages.”
Jesus never spoke of anything without a parallel in the Old Testament. It was a complex stage set for the Messiah—a framework for His message. Surprisingly, the Old Testament contains no references to eternal damnation or people being tortured in some strange fire. But it does include several passages about refining people like silver or gold—significant texts, some explicitly tied to the era described in Revelation.
This book is not merely a fictional story about the salvation of the devil, but also offers an extensive explanation of the original words of the New Testament—words worth understanding if we are to grasp why every knee can willingly bow to Christ, even though it may at first seem that some are lost forever.
In this book, Jesus wins Lucifer’s heart, and I hope Lucifer earns my readers’ appreciation with his humor along the way. From the moment he fumes at the bottom of the abyss, telling Michael to “go pick fleas from your feathers and leave me alone,” to when he tells Nicolas Renard that Jesus is off handling a centaur rebellion on Mars, all the way to the very end, where he teases the angels while softening inside. In a story full of conversations about love and relationships, where suspense and misunderstandings abound, serious moments alternate with Lucifer’s distinctive humor and sharp wit.
The book “The Reconciliation of Lucifer with Christ” fits between the third and fourth books of the “Apocatastasis” series. It takes place in 1685 and includes the birth of Nicolas’s daughter, Lucie, who becomes the main character of the following book.

Ever Unshaken
A small island kingdom off the coast of France stands on the brink of change. The year is 1789, and the shockwaves of the French Revolution stir debate and unrest throughout the realm. When the aging king orders the arrest of the university’s rector, the beloved preacher and teacher Edward Sandcreek tries to intervene—and finds himself behind bars. As the kingdom awaits his trial, Edward receives an unexpected visit from a mysterious lady—and begins to wonder: how can God’s promises come true in such a time as this?
Yet beyond romance and tension, this story seeks to spark deeper reflection: how faith in Christ should shape the way we live, strengthen us to run the race to the finish, and inspire us to pass on the torch of faith to the next generation.
