Biblical archeology, murder, intrigue and a man who has lost his faith in God are the main themes in "The Scroll". Dr. David Chambers, due to a painful experience, has lost his hope in the scriptures that used to drive his passion. Known as the leading archeologist in the Holy Land, his work set the standard in biblical research. But, that was then. Now, drowning in doubt and depression and on the verge of leaving his passion for the Holy Land in the proverbial dust, David has the chance to redeem his faith and his career.
David's old friend and mentor Abram Ben-Judah calls him with the offer of one last dig. With the enticement of riches and a discovery unlike any other Dr. Chambers heads back to Israel. He quickly finds himself confronted with those very things he wanted to leave behind. Drawn into a fight for his life will his faith in God return or be forever lost?
I found that "The Scroll" was a little slow to start but an enjoyable read. Think Indiana Jones meets the bible meets end times prophecy. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in biblical historical fiction with a little bit of action adventure thrown in.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group does not require a positive review. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
