GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 20, 2005 – Zonderhill Publishers announced today the release of St. Esophigus’ classic work, “The Purpose Motivated Staying Alive During a Plague.” This wonderful devotional work from a little known saint from Christianity’s past was recently discovered in a cave in Turkey. Scholars have painstakingly restored and translated it into modern, gender-neutral language. Not a medical work, this is about the God-given desire to survive. St. Esophigus’ work is said to have saved thousands of lives in the 4th century during a devastating plague in the city of Gullibulus. St. Esophigus, through this Christ-centered work reminded the survivors of God’s purpose waiting to be fulfilled in their lives.
