ULRICH ZWINGLI

In the snow-covered hills of Wildhaus, Switzerland, a child is born on New Year's Day, 1484. He will grow up to shake the foundations of the medieval church, reshape the city of Zurich, and die on a battlefield holding not a sword but a Bible. Ulrich Zwingli: Prophet of Fire is a novel in the tradition of Paulo Coelho - part biography, part spiritual pilgrimage. It follows the arc of one man's life from a curious farm boy asking questions no one dares answer, to a scholar intoxicated by the original words of Scripture, to a preacher who reads the Gospel aloud in the people's own language and watches a city begin to change.
This is not simply a story of religious reform. It is a story about the cost of truth - the loneliness of the prophet, the weight of power, the grief of division, and the quiet courage it takes to keep walking when the road offers no guarantees. Zwingli loved music and silenced it. He preached peace and marched to war. He sought unity with Luther and was refused a handshake. He died at forty-seven, his ashes scattered to the wind.
Yet the words did not burn.
