    SHREVEPORT, LA, March 19, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Letters to Luke: From His Fellow Physician, Joseph of Capernaum, the award-winning novel set in the Holy Land by crucifixion scholar Dr. Joe E. Holoubek, is now available for the latest generation of Amazon's wireless reading device, Kindle 2. Kindle is Amazon's portable reader that wirelessly downloads books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers to a high-resolution electronic paper display.

Letters to Luke - an unforgettable story of the first Easter - presents a physician's perspective on the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It chronicles the spiritual journey of two physicians, Joseph and Elisa of Capernaum, who encounter Jesus as a mysterious healer, witness the growth of His ministry, and join His fateful journey to Jerusalem. Joseph recounts the events in letters to his friend, fellow physician and gospel writer Luke of Antioch. Letters to Luke is the story of a doubter who becomes a believer, a man of science who becomes a man of faith.

Well-researched maps add richness to this uplifting tale of God's love and forgiveness - a fitting and powerful message for these troubled times.

Published in 2004 by Little Dove Press, Letters to Luke won the Writer's Digest Award for inspirational literature and earned this endorsement from former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop: "It is well done, scripturally accurate...an attention grabber."

The author, who died in 2007, was a founder of LSU School of Medicine in Shreveport, Louisiana, and a distinguished member of the Catholic Academy of Sciences of the U.S.A. He based the character of Elisa on his beloved wife, Dr. Alice Baker Holoubek. Through Letters to Luke, their love for God and for each other will inspire generations of readers to come.
