Anyone who has been healed by Eva Castellanoz has felt her power and wisdom.

En el siglo XIX, un joven y apuesto arquitecto español, viaja de España a un pueblo de Veracruz, para reclamar una propiedad de sus ancestros, pero se enamora de una hermosa lugareña, con la que vive un amor inconmensurable. El producto de su amor furtivo, fuera del matrimonio, es arrancado de los brazos de su madre con una deleznable mentira, para obsequiarlo a una yerbera llamada Manuela, y así esconder la deshonra de la familia, Un abominable crimen por el robo de unas perlas, y que nunca se esclarece sirve para descargar el odio del ofendido padre de la joven hacia el arquitecto; lo hace parecer culpable y lo encierran prisión bajo un nombre falso. El martirio por el que pasa en su encierro, la búsqueda incansable de su familia para dar con su paradero; su amada con el corazón de hecho que tampoco deja de buscarlos a él y a su hijo; la yerbera que descubre en su hijo adoptivo su extraordinario don, que utiliza en sus remedios con asombrosos resultados, y la llevan a la fama; el reencuentro del hijo con su madre; la amistad que surge entre ambas mujeres; llenan esta historia de aventuras, de misterio, de magia y de amor, con un final estremecedor.

Cuándo y por qué se llamaron cristianos. Todas las diferentes religiones que tienen el nombre de cristianas, tienen a la vez, diferente concepto de la persona del Señor Jesucristo el unigénito Hijo De Dios. Solo la Biblia nos da la revelación exacta y profunda de quién es realmente el Señor Jesucristo. Ministrada esta a nuestro espíritu por el Espíritu Santo, que es quien nos revela la verdadera naturaleza Divina y eterna de Cristo, el Verbo Divino encarnado.
