Biblical archaeologist David Chambers, along with his professional nemesis and his ex-fiancee, have been recruited to investigate the Copper Scroll--an ancient artifact rumored to contain the location of a host of treasures from the second Jewish temple. From the start, their quest is plagued by violence and setbacks. Someone is determined to keep them from succeeding--but who? And why? And how do these opponents know so much about their work? And how far are they willing to go to keep Chambers' team from finding the lost treasures? And will Chambers find what he's looking for--the temple treasure and, more importantly, the treasure of his lost faith?
I have to admit, I was not impressed. The characters were caricatures at best--the boorish and bitter former Christian, the pious and compassionate Christian ex-fiancee, the jaded and smarmy atheist, the devout Jew, the crazed Muslim radical, the wealthy American businessman . . . The most interesting character in the mix is the head of security, and he's hardly front and center in the plot. But then, the characters are really just vehicles for that plot, which is part redemption story (will the disillusioned Chambers find his lost faith?) and part 'end times' adventure.
The theology here is a bit hard to pin down. A Jewish character repeatedly reminds the Christian characters of God's sovereignty, which is certainly a plus. However, the details of the Christian faith are muddy at best--Jesus and the Bible are mentioned, but the gospel is never spelled out. Even Chambers' return to the faith is suspect--he originally left the faith because he resented his (Christian) father for being gone while his (Christian) mother succumbed to disease. When Chambers finally returns to the faith, it is not because he has learned or accepted something about God, but because he finds out that his father didn't know his mother was dying. This restores his father in Chambers eyes, and allows him to embrace his faith again. Thus his 'redemption' is based more on the actions of humans than on a relationship with Christ. And of course, there's some eschatology here that some Christians won't agree with (i.e., the rebuilding of the temple being 'God's work').
A couple notes on the writing: the exposition was particularly ham-handed and awkward. I realize that some exposition is necessary in order to equip the reader for a trip through an unfamiliar field like archaeology, but Jeffrey (who teaches eschatology, prophecy, and biblical archaeology) and Gansky (novelist) should have come up with a more organic means of communicating information to their readers. Instead, they use such obvious ruses as a) explaining the backstory to a (random) back-up pilot on a private jet who has questions about their plans (she is never heard from again), and b) a preeminent biblical archaeologist giving a junior-high level lecture/crash course in biblical archaeology . . . to two of the other leading professionals in the field. There are better ways to fill your readers in on the necessary details.
The authors also had a funny habit of telegraphing their reveals, and sometimes even double revealing (as in, a character would say something, and then a page later say the exact same thing to the exact same people and this second statement would be treated as a dun-dun-dun moment). Even the premise itself made for a weird 'reveal'. If you tell a bunch of archaeologists that you want them to work on a 'secret project' connected to an artifact that is rumored to show the locations of lost temple treasures, telling them later that--surprise!--they're looking for lost temple artifacts . . . well, it's not actually a reveal.
Bottom line: This is a Christian novel, and I highly doubt that anyone other than self-identified Christians will have any interest in it whatsoever. It simply does not stand up to the objective standard of good fiction--the writing isn't great, and the story isn't particularly compelling. If you want an eschatological novel of unimpressive quality filled with cliches and featuring ostensibly Christian leads, then this might be the book for you. Everyone else is probably better off steering clear.

Suspense is definitely a well-suited label for this book. At first, when I found out the book is set in 2012, I wanted to plant my face into a wall. I couldn't help but wonder if this was going to end up being a end-of-the-world type book that would only feed the world's crazy contemplation of what next year will bring. Thankfully it didn't turn out to be like that...for the most part.
While the book itself never actually came out and spelled out the end of the world coming in 2012 (supposedly), it occasionally alluded to it, particularly at the very end of the book and in the epilogue. But enough about that. That fact that is was set in the near future helped the setup, for sure. The team of archaeologists that David Chambers is recruited to comes into possession of some pretty sweet high tech devices, which I won't name specifically for the sake of keeping this spoil free. Even though most of these devices don't exist (at least that I know of....), it's easy to imagine such technology within the near future. The fact that the book is set within the next year also helped in that while the author's had some room to grow the technology, it was close enough to present times to keep most everything else the same as it is today.
The obvious danger of the 'mission' Chambers and his colleagues are on makes this book ridiculously interesting. Something always seemed to be up, whether it was the paranoid head of security (one of my fav characters), ex-fiancee distracting him, annoying coworkers, assassinations....you name it. It was kinda crazy how many characters had died by the last chapter, quite a few of them extremely awesome, lovable characters at that. It added some sadness between all the epic explosions of events.
I really don't know what else to say without blowing the entire plot. In short, the plot was just amazing. The characters were fantastic, well rounded, realistic...I'm pretty sure they're actually real, still hiding out in Israel and digging up holes. *wink wink*
This book is now a new fav of mine. The suspense and excitement started on the first chapter and only grew, right up to the very end. Highly recommended! The ending also left off with a very interesting setup, should there ever be a sequel...

An interesting tale regarding Israel and many lost relics from Christ’s time. I found the story fast paced with great flow. Biblical Archeology is a form of study I didn’t know existed and yet it makes complete sense. Why not have a group out there to study the Bible by finding artifacts that point to its truth and exsistance.
The story followed a group of archeologists as they interpreted a found copper scroll to help them find the lost temple artifacts. Intrigue and suspense keep you reading and turning the page. Bad guys around every corner and even in their own camp. This is also a story of faith lost and found. I enjoyed the ideas presented in this book and yet I have to say that the very end was not where I hoped it would go and at the same time I was a bit confused…oh well you can’t always get everything.
If you enjoy mysteries and especially religious based ones, you will really enjoy this book. The ending did not detract from the story as a whole.

This one just wasn't for me. I couldn't get into the story and never warmed up to the characters. There was also clunky info-dumping that I have a hard time getting past in any story. I really thought I'd like this book because I've always been really fascinated with archaeology. I've taken college courses in archaeology and anthropology, so it's definitely not that the subject matter didn't interest me, the story just wasn't told in a way as to keep my interest. I don't think I'd recommend this one.

David Chambers had turned his back on God, Biblical Archaeology, and the love of his life...Amber Rodgers. But when his dear friend contacts him about searching for the items listed on the copper scroll, worth millions of dollars. David jumps at the chance. Little did he know, this quest would reunite him with Amber and his nemesis Nuri. Can his Archaeology lead him back to his faith and the woman he loves?
I love fictional archaeology novels because the always bring back fond memories of Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider movies. This book does not disappoint! There's quite a bit of suspenseful moments, not to mention action and adventure as they try not to be followed to the various dig sites. This was a fantastic novel and I hated to see it end.

Love Bible history
Well researched Bible history woven throughout this book. Makes for a very interesting fictional read. I did research as I read this book to enhance my knowledge. Very cool.

Better than I expected it would be... Some slow bits in the book... But overall, not a bad read...

Clean, predictable read. Really hated the misogynistic tone. I promise there are Christian men who recognize and appreciate smart women.

This book is a great mix of Biblical history, Middle East tensions, and the details of an archaeologist's dig in a fiction format.
David, a world renowned archaeologist in Middle East and Biblical history, has lost his passion for his work and wants to move on to other archaeological fields. However, he's drawn into doing one more dig with his mentor for a sizable stipend and the chance of a world changing discovery. However, the dig creates fiery exchanges with colleagues, political intrigue, and real life danger from someone who wants to stop him from making his discovery no matter what the body count may be.
The storyline pulls you along with references to the past history of the region, the current unrest, and the hopes and dreams of three archaeologists who have their own vision of what the results of the dig should be. An enjoyable read that will want you reading more from this author.

THE SCROLL
By Grant R Jeffery
&
Alton L Gansky
Archaeologist Dr. David Chambers has made an extraordinary find - the tunnel of Herod the Great hidden beneath Jerusalem! But as amazing as this find is it will be his last dig in Israel because he has lost his faith.
Nine months have passed since the discovery of Herod’s tunnel, when David receives a call from his old friend Abram Ben-Judah asking him to join one last expedition in Israel. The search will be for the lost treasures of the Temple - the treasure described in the Copper Scroll.
A month later David finds himself flying to Israel with the last person he wants to be with Dr. Nuri Aumann a fellow archaeologist. Dr. Amber Rogers, David’s former fiancée, has also been asked to join this elite team of archaeologists headed by Abram Ben-Judah and funded by John Trent with a backing of $200 million!
But shortly after the group has their initial meeting a student is found and there is evidence that someone, possibly Dr. Hussein Al-Malik, is trying to spy on them! The already tight security is increased under a no-nonsense man - Landau.
As the team makes progress they make an incredible find - a chest filled with silver from the ancient Jewish Temple. But unorthodox methods are needed to secure the find as quickly as possible, methods that are frowned upon by those in the field of archaeology. But when the team attempts to further study the site disaster strikes. A bomb destroys the chamber instantly killing 4 team members. David is injured as he attempts to save Abram Ben-Judah!
When David awakes in the hospital he receives the stunning news that Abram Ben-Judah is expected to die from his injuries before the night is past. The attack is believed to be tied to Al-Malik and that he is getting his information from a mole within the group.
David, Amber, Landau, John Trent, and the Israeli Prime Minister are among a small handful of people who know that Abram Ben-Judah is still alive and sequestered within the private wing of the hospital. Abram tells David and Amber that they must focus their search on the priestly treasures mentioned in the scroll rather than the ones of monetary worth. Israel plans to rebuild the Temple and they need the spiritual treasures as soon as possible.
When a hidden passage is discovered within Herod’s Tunnel the find is what Abram was hoping for, but the workers helping David and Amber are attacked and killed and only Landau is able to save David and Amber.
With time running out and hostilities towards the archaeologists becoming more threatening can they discover the truth in time or will the hidden danger within their team destroy them all? Can David rediscover his faith or will he forever turn his back on God? When a team member is kidnapped and the treasure of the Temple is demanded, who or what will be sacrificed?
The Scroll is a book of thrills and thought. Can we ever truly experience what life has for us if we are angry at the world and at God?

One last dig. One final descent into the twisted tunnels on ancient Jerusalem. Will the truth be found among the treasures that lie beneath the holy city?
Dr. David Chambers, leading archaeologist, has spent his professional career uncovering the facts in the artifacts. His work sets the standard for biblical research in the Holy Land. But surrounded by the evidence. David has sunk into an abyss of doubt. A painful experience with a seemingly unresponsive God has left him without hope. The Old Testament scriptures that used to fill his mind with wonder now drive him to frustration. His unanswered questions have ripped him from both his academic pursuits and the love of his life, his fiancee' Amber.
An old friend and mentor reaches out to David, enticing him with the riches described in the enigmatic Copper Scroll. Losing ground with his peers, his love, and his faith. David Chambers has a choice to make. Will he undertake one final dig to unlock a secret that could alter the course of history? Do the mysteries of the Old Testament hold the key to the political turmoil of the Middle East?
In a world where faith has been eclipsed by the allure of doubt. The Scroll by Grant R. Jeffrey and Alton L. Gansky offers a different journey: a gripping adventure to find truth worth dying for. In a time in the near future, this book plays out with your typical Biblical expedition to unearth another artifact while those who want it for their own purpose will attempt to get it at all costs. Along the way of searching for this artifact, Dr. Chambers is lacking his faith in God and will soon discover that God has been with him all along.
A fantastic journey into an action-packed adventure with countless murders, foiled plots and the most amazing weapons ever imagined will bring this story to a heart-stopping climax. I received this book compliments of WaterBrook Multnomah Publishers for my honest review and would have to rate this one a 4 out of 5 stars. There are times when the story fails to captivate the reader and keep them engaged in the plot, but overall the premise is well supported with some amazing characters along the way.

�...equally filthy pair of jeans. Next to her stood David Chambers, hotshot archaeologist and former fiance. The picture, which she had been using as a bookmark in the novel she was reading, must have slipped free while she was packing. “Keep it.� Nordoff raised an eyebrow. “That's a bit harsh. Isn't there anything in this photo you miss?� She shrugged. “I kinda miss those jeans.� Amber walked from the tent.� - The Scroll
Dr. David Chambers is Ganksy and Jeffrey's “Raiders of The Lost Ark's� Dr. Jones. It's “Raiders of The Lost Ark� meets Joel Rosenberg. Add a little realistic romance and the book sizzles with conflict, danger, and adventure.
Amber and David once worked together on an Israeli dig site. In fact, they loved each other; but something changed in David. You can trace it back to the death of his mother, something that built in him for so long that David not only walked away from Biblical Archeology, but God, too. This time what brings Amber and David together with old friend, Nuri, is billionaire Trent. Trent is funding a top secret dig supported by Israel. Veiled in mystery, Amber, David and Nuri are kept under protection while they look for temple artifacts and gold, but there's a problem.
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) want all temple evidence destroyed. They use the media and explosives to target the archeologists, but who is feeding them information from the inside?
The author, Grant Jeffrey is a Bible prophecy expert, and in reading the tale of this adventure I learned about the Ark of the Covenant and got treated to a history lesson here and there. I really enjoyed this novel and would read it again. I'm intrigued enough by this novel to read some of Jeffrey's other books. What is scary is how realistic the conflict with Iran and Israel could be especially if what the novel describes happens in our lifetime.
This book gets five stars for what seems like historical accuracy and a great love story about how our past can impede our future happiness.

David Chambers is a biblical archaeologist who once explored the biblical sites because of his faith, but now that faith is as dead as King Herod he is contemplating a change in career direction. In this slightly futuristic thriller, a chance telephone call from a colleague in Israel brings the opportunity to lead a project that will potentially change the world forever (The Scroll is set in 2012-2015).
The Copper Scroll is a list of the temple treasures and, more importantly, where they were hidden before the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE. As the search for the artefacts described in the Copper Scroll progresses, the threats increase and the danger intensifies. The likelihood of danger is brought home to the team when a local student is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Another complication is the presence of Dr Amber Rodgers, David's ex fiancée, the relationship that she broke off when David lost his faith as a result of the slow and painful death of his mother.
I have always enjoyed archaeology mysteries, and The Scroll was no exception. It was well researched, with flashes of humour, and conspiracy theories almost two millennia old. The explanations of the underlying research and technology were clear, and the evident research made it hard to determine where fact ended and fiction began, which is always a good start. There are certain aspects to The Scroll that suggest it is targeted more towards the male audience (like always telling us the make and model of the aircraft Chambers is flying in), but that is not to say that women won’t enjoy it. I certainly did.

The Copper Scroll is a list of the temple treasures and, more importantly, where they were hidden before the destruction of the second temple in 70 CE. As the search for the artefacts described in the Copper Scroll progresses, the threats increase and the danger intensifies. The likelihood of danger is brought home to the team when a local student is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Another complication is the presence of Dr Amber Rodgers, David's ex fiancée, the relationship that she broke off when David lost his faith as a result of the slow and painful death of his mother.

Grant R. Jeffrey and Alton L. Gansky in their new book, "The Scroll" published by Waterbrook Press takes us to Israel on an archeological dig.
What happens when three archeologists are thrust together on a dig and have to work together to finish the project? What happens when two of those members were in love with one another and the third was an enemy? What happens when someone else doesn't want you to finish the project? Then you have the thrilling elements of "The Scroll"
Get ready for a nail-biting, page-turning thriller. Dr. David Chambers is a disillusioned man who is being offered one more chance to make a difference. He has lost his focus, and feels that God has left him. But all that is going to change on an archeological site in Israel. Grant R. Jeffrey and Alton L. Gansky know how to craft suspense. So much is going on within the pages of "The Scroll" and the characters are so real that you care for all of them, well at least the good guys. There is more to the story that I didn't mention but you didn't really expect me to tell you everything did you? Otherwise you might not want to read the book and I wouldn't want you to pass up an opportunity for a terrific read.

The Scroll... a book review
Biblical Archaeology
Intrigue
Suspense
Artifacts
Danger
Dr. David Chambers, a well-known archaeologist, has just decided to leave Biblical archaeology. His faith has been challenged, and he is doubting God and His goodness. Just as he decides to move into South American archaeology, he receives a call from an old friend and mentor inviting David into one more Biblical dig... unearthing the secrets of the Copper Scroll.
A team of archaeologists, including David's ex-fiance, and security personnel are pulled together to work as one toward one common goal. Locate, find, and retrieve the artifacts as quickly as possible. Even though the team has a top-notch security team, a leak is found. Can the "mole" be neutralized before more people are hurt? Can they locate the items listed on the Copper Scroll before Israel's enemies declare war on them?
Click here to download chapter one of The Scroll.
I could not put this book down! When I thought I had it figured out, I was thrown another curve. I loved how Grant Jeffrey and Alton Gansky developed their characters; I was able to relate to them and their reactions. Also, Biblical history was seemlessly woven into the story line---easily explaining the relevance of the finds or locations. I only had one problem with the book.... it ended! This is a story I could have continued reading. I wonder if we will be seeing more of Dr. David Chambers and his motley crew?!?!

The Scroll by Dr Grant Jeffrey seems to be more about Biblical prophecy and archaeology than science-fiction or fantasy (which is why I originally chose it). Dr. David Chambers has turned his back on his faith and is trying to start a new chapter in his life when an old friend, Abram Ben-Judah, calls in a favor for a project. While Chambers tries to focus on historical fact, doing a dig in Jerusalem forces him to face the Bible—the very thing he is trying to avoid.
The story is very slow moving, focusing on Jewish customs, traditions, and the technical side of archaeology. When the author attempts to include exciting and suspenseful details, he really gives too much contextually unnecessary info. In fact, I had trouble finding any kind of plot until chapter 16. In an effort to help the main character “return to the faith,� with the help of secondary characters the author is annoyingly preachy and uses cheesey clichés typical of Christian literature. Then in the last couple chapters, the author seems to wrap up the story too quickly, as though he suddenly realized he had to finish but only had so many pages to do it in. Maybe if the book had been broken into two or three books to create a series it would have been better.
Maybe it’s because I usually read thrillers, mysteries and science fiction, but this story dragged on and I debated whether or not to even finish it. If you’re looking for a brainy story on Biblical prophecy or archaeology, this is the book for you. If you want something exciting, then don’t bother.
I received this book free to give an honest review.

The Scroll by Jeffrey and Gansky was my first book by these authors and the book was amazing! It was a perfect blend of action and adventure of characters searching for biblical relics in Jerusalem, but the authors also did a great job of delving into the personal lives of characters and creating them in a way that made you interested in what happened to them. It is so hard to find Christian fiction that doesn't kick you in the head with heavy romance themes, and I liked that while there was a sliver of a romance in the story, it was such a small thread that people like me who don't like romance themes can still thoroughly enjoy the book.
The Christian themes were woven through the story in a way that felt natural to me as a reader (not a gift that every Christian Fiction author has, unfortunately). I especially enjoyed reading about the historical/biblical background of relics from Solomon's Temple.
The book was well edited and well written though, for me, there were a few dialogues (especially when a character was angry) that felt stilted and a bit unnatural. To be honest, though, every book I read has more than a few lines where I think "gee, I wouldn't have written it like that, I would have written it like this" so I can easily look past such things. It's just the nature of books and what makes them unique and gives a touch of the author's voice.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I look forward to checking out more of the authors' books.

Mystery and intrigue await you in this tale of archaeology in Israel. Dr. David Chambers is a famed archeologist looking for a new type of dig. In running away from a painful past, he is also running away from God and moves his focus away from biblical archeology. Dr. Amber Rogers and Nuri Aumann are brought together with David by Dr. Abram Ben-Judah, and that is no small feat. The past comes to haunt them in more ways than one, but there are the pieces of the copper scroll to find. Who else wants them? Can these three work together to solve the mystery or will bitterness thwart their efforts? What is John Trent's stake in this journey? As the story unfolds, you will find fear, love, jealousy, and so much more. This is an archeological journey that can mean the life or death of faith for one or all of the team.
I really enjoyed this book. The pace of the story kept me reading and there were just enough questions in my mind for me to keep searching for answers. Parts of the story made me want to participate in a real dig. The authors have created realistic characters who have real struggles and feelings. I found the fact that David struggles with his faith to be an important part of the book and couldn't wait to find out how that would be resolved. This book is for anyone who loves history, mystery, suspense and stories about archeology. Book clubs will enjoy discussing it as well. I received my free copy from the Blogging for Books program and thank them for it.

I love this type of story, biblical archaeological fiction, so I was very excited to receive this book from Blogging for Books. The book did not let me down. It was an excellent read. I enjoyed the pace, the characters, and the content.
For a book of this genre to be good, it has to be believable. You have to really believe that the scenario could happen. This story was definitely that. I did not see any inconsistencies with it compared to the Bible or the true archaeological record. The story was well thought out from beginning to end.
The characters had depth and developed over the course of the story, which I also appreciated. The only quasi-negative thing about the characters was that it wasn’t very hard to figure out who the “bad guy� was. However, that did not really detract from the story, only the supposed mystery of who was creating the conflict.
The epilogue was also interesting and well-thought out. It was a realistic view of what would happen should the riches described in the fictional scroll ever be found.
I give this book 4 stars. I plan on reading it again sometime, which says something given the sheer volume of books that I have on my “to read� list :)

David Chambers renowned Biblical Archaeologist, is a man who has lost his faith and is searching for something crucial in his life. Abram Ben-Judah, an old friend contacts him and asks him to come back to the Holy Land for one final dig, to unearth the treasures of the Copper Scroll. Funding has come from a benefactor, a great supporter of Biblical Archaelogy and David finds himself working alongside other members at the dig site, who are not of his choosing including Amber, his fiancee. The treasures in the tunnels await the explorers, but is the ultimate cost worth the price that must be paid?
Mr. Gansky is a favorite author of mine and this book did not disappoint! Danger and intrigue along with interactive dialogue, excellent character development, twists and turns, and realistic scenery await the reader! As I was reading The Scroll I was reminded of possibly an Indiana Jones movie sitting on the edge of the seat and I felt as if I were there with the characters experiencing what they did. I learned quite a bit about archaelogy from this book and I was challenged in my faith. But don't expect to finish this book in one sitting plan three or four uninterupped evenings and let the authors take you on a fascinating journey. I would highly recommend this book! Very well written!!! I received this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers for my review.

he Scroll by Grant R. Jeffrey and Alton L. Gansky is an interesting book full of history, suspense, and a little romance. Dr. David Chambers is an expert archaeologist, who has made the study of Bible history his main area of expertise. He felt that studying the land of the Bible and finding the artifacts strengthened his relationship with God, but that was before his mother died of cancer. After she passed away he turned away from God, insisting that He doesn’t exist.
When his friend Abram Ben-Judah, invites him to head a new archeological dig, he reluctantly decides to go to Israel. The digs are supposed to be top secret, and done quickly, which goes against his grain. He is also at odds with some of the other archaeologists who are on the team.
I liked the story which is packed with history, and archaeological finds that reveal that the Bible is true, and not a fanciful story. The characters were realistic, and for the most part likable. The authors also added a good amount of suspense, that keeps the reader involved. The only thing I would have liked is a stronger ending, because it was kind of flat.

Dr. David Chambers, renowned archaeologist, has lost his faith, his fiancee, and his interest in Old Testament related research. But when he is presented with the opportunity to look for the treasures of the Copper Scroll, he cannot say no.
Think "Indiana Jones got saved". That pretty much sums up the tone of this novel. It isn't bad, you understand; but it was predictable at times. Stock characters and dialogue, the usual plot twists, etc. However, I would still recommend this to anyone who enjoys Old Testament history, archaeology, or Middle East cloak-and-dagger.

I was really excited and couldn't wait to "dig in" and read this book, I love adventure, Biblical archaeology, suspense, romance, and intrigue but was left with a feeling that this book was kind of a re-make of Joel Rosenberg's The Copper Scroll but with a really mean main character that's rude to everyone. David Chambers the main character, is not very likeable and if you knew him in real life I don't think you would want to be his friend. I'm sure others might enjoy this book if they haven't already read The Copper Scroll. There is a lot of adventure, suspense and intrigue for those looking for that type of book.
I give this book 2 stars out of 5 since I'd already read a book that was very similar to this one. I really hate to give a bad review since I received this book for free from WaterBrook Press and Blogging for Books but I have always promised my readers an honest review of every product that I share with them.

For starters, the cover really doesn't sell this book. I had the option of reviewing it, and kept passing it up, just because the cover is so unappealing.
Still, I love a good Indiana Jones-esque treasure hunt, so I figured I'd give this book a try. I kept picking it up, hoping it would get interesting, but I'd end up putting it down after a few pages.
After a while, the story picks up, but even then, the characters are "stock," the plot twists are pretty predictable, the bad guys are all Islamic or secular, and the good guys are all Christians/Jews.

Picked this novel up at the library because it sounded interesting. The plot was decently fast paced and kept me turning the pages. A leading archaeologist in the field of biblical artifacts is summoned to find the lost treasures of the Copper Scroll. In looking for the treasures, he is in danger by factions that do not want the artifacts found. This was a very entertaining story with twists that kept me guessing to the end.

I absolutely LOVED this book. It was right up my alley, Biblical History and Archaeology rock my world :) I was hooked from page one and literally spent several nights up reading far longer than anticipated! It was a hard book to put down. David's journey throughout the book was inspiring and left me wanting more from the author. I would recommend this book to anyone with interest in Egyptology, Anthropology, Biblical History, or anyone that just wants a good, gripping read :)
October 17, 2014
I really liked this book as I have every other Alton Gansky book that I have read so far. I really liked the historical detail that went into this. That being said, I had to knock the star rating down a notch because that same detail wasn't there for the ending. It seemed rushed. That certainly did not take much away from my enjoyment and I will be recommending this to several people that have read many of my recommendations. This will definitely get a strong recommendation.
