The Gates of Heaven Richard Hare

Doctor Harold Schwack conceals a dark and sordid past. His latest patient, Maryanne Hennessey, sets him on a collision course with a force he doesn't believe in. A force destined to unveil the true intentions of his sadistic heart and end the misery inflicted upon his unsuspecting patients. Mark Hennessey battles to save not only his own soul but the souls of everyone around him. His mother, stricken with cancer, painfully lingers in a medical bureaucracy with doctors who lack compassion, yet still maintain God-like attitudes. Mark struggles to find peace for his mother, only to discover his own sanity shattered when the heavens bestow a divine gift upon him. A seemingly random meeting with a mysterious preacher, Jonah, transforms Mark into an angel of vengeance with the power to end the evil lives of the souls that Satan has already conquered. A power Mark refuses to accept or believe exists until destiny intervenes and leads him down a path that only faith can overcome. Faith that God really does have an overall plan for humanity and an eternal resting place within the Gates Of Heaven.
