The missing day
In this fast moving novel, Marco Montorsi, an Italian pastor living in South Africa, crosses the International Date Line on a flight from Los Angeles (USA) to Auckland (New Zealand), and finds himself face to face with twenty four hours that “are not supposed to be there”, in a world that “doesn’t really exist”.
Marco is commissioned by Divinity to enter this dimension to be able to unfasten eight locks that have kept a young man prisoner for most of his life.
Mountains need to be climbed, monsters need to be slain, combinations need to be deciphered, doubts need to be conquered, and locks have to be opened.
All this in twenty four, short, unforgiving hours, or the young man’s heart will not be touched, it will stop beating and his eternal destiny will not be changed.
Eternity is, in fact, very, very unforgiving.
Mixed with the gripping narrative of this fictional adventure, are the author’s nuggets of revelation and teachings that he uses so readily to reveal the merciful, gracious, generous, and loving heart of the Father.

SIMPLY GRACE
This book is not supposed to be a doctrinal exposition for the benefit of the few. Nor another dissertation for the purpose of more knowledge. I didn’t write it to make a point. I wrote it to make a difference. This book is solely designed to be an instrument in God’s hands to facilitate your relationship with Grace. Because Grace is the only thing that makes sense. I have used the capital “G” in the word “Grace” because I intend to treat this amazing “entity” as if it was a person. A person with a name. An amazing name, the name Grace. In the following pages, I would like to tell the story behind the name. But first, let’s give this name its rightful owner. In the gospel of John, the first chapter, the seventeenth verse, the Bible says, “The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” Moses “gave” something, but Jesus “came” with someone, Himself. Throughout the New testament we see Jesus identifying Himself as “truth”. Hence I can deduce that, in the light of the above scripture, He is not only “truth”, but He is also “grace”. Yes, Grace is a person, and that person is Jesus. Sadly, grace has been unadvisedly given many wrong titles through the years by people who did not properly understand it: from “cheap” to “hyper”, from “easy” to “free”, from “lazy” to “crazy”, from “modern” to “heretic”. I would like to call her something different: “Simply Amazing”. I pray that Abba Father, Lord of all creation, and only Source of life, may give to you, the reader, a spirit of wisdom and revelation, in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know that you’re no longer a servant, you’re a son. And if a son, forever a son! |

A book I have written to attempt to bring some understanding in the perennial question of grace. Is it hyper? Is it wrong? Is it just too easy? Simply put: IF a son, always a son. No matter what.
The Hole in the Hedge
What do we do when things happen which we cannot explain? What do we do when God does not make sense? What do we do when "bad" things happen to "good" people?
Witnessing the death of a little child and being unable to halt it left the author with a shattered faith that refused to make sense of such a tragedy.
"Why God? Why did this happen?" was his cry when they took the limp, little body away from him in the hospital. Having been saved in a "stream" of Christianity that believed in absolute, regular and unquestionable victory over debt, disease and death, the drowning of his little friend left Mario with a heart full of pain and a mind brimming with questions.
That's when the Lord brought about one of the greatest and most life-changing revelations Mario ever received in his experience as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
"The Hole in the Hedge". will help the reader understand the vital truth found in Scripture which states, "He who breaks a hedge, a snake will bite him!" In a simple, and yet profound way, this book casts precious, revelatory light on the unchartered concept of God’s protection.
Many people in Africa, Europe and the United States have read "The Hole in the Hedge" and found clarity and solace where there was confusion and doubt. We pray that this book will bring the reader one step closer to the reality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is, "God is good and He loves me."

Why do bad things happen to good people? This is a question that has plagued the mind of many for centuries. I believe I have the answer.
The Manual
“The evening was unfolding like a dream. The restaurant had kept its promises carried by the website and delivered a wonderfully intimate atmosphere. .... Now, back in their home, the man took his wife's hand and sat on the couch in front of the big fireplace. Then he reached over and pulled his woman closer to him. She smiled seductively and obliged. Soon his lips found hers, the music faded, the walls disappeared and fireworks lit the sky.”
Thus starts The Manual, a book of life, imagination and direction. In this three-sectioned narrative the author spans the past, the present and the future, the real and the unreal, the visible and the supernatural.
A wise angel named “Dispatcher” will guide you, the reader, through principles for living that, when put into practice, will open a path to a happy, purposeful and satisfied life.
In a combination of biography, novel and theological adventure, The Manual provides a powerful rendering of a Divinity whose image has been badly marred by centuries of religious legalism and misconception.
After reading this book you will never be the same.
Enjoy your journey.
