"Dear and Glorious Physician" is a novel about Saint Luke by my favorite author....Taylor Caldwell. It is an informative and entertaining read.
But I would like to bring up the Foreword by Taylor Caldwell here because well...I just liked it and wanted to share: "This book is only indirectly about Our Lord. No love, no historical book, can convey the story of His life as well as the Holy Bible. So the story of Lucanus, or St. Luke, is the story of every man's pilgrimage through despair and life-darkness, through suffering and anguish, through bitterness and sorrow, through doubt and cynicism \, through rebellion and hopelessness to the feet and the understanding of God. This search for God and the final revelation are the only meaning in life for men. Without this search and revelation man lives only as an animal, without comfort and wisdom, and his life is futile, no matter his station or power or birth."
