Dismas: The First Among Many: The Thief Who Stole Heaven

by Vincent Iezzi

Dismas came from nowhere. A lowly thief, Christ transformed him for all eternity as he hung on his own cross at Golgotha. Dismas is remembered by untold billions of souls throughout time even to this day. He once stole for material gain. His last act on earth was to steal Heaven itself, openly confessing as the first among all saints to enter Heaven after Christ's death on the Cross. This book tells the gripping story of the man who became the first penitent to die with the complete promise of the Resurrection.
