Hello!

I'm humbly seeking a beta reader for my first book, Revealing the Eternal Thread: The Design Behind Lost Knowledge and Human History.

I’m looking for someone to provide thoughtful feedback on the narrative flow, engagement, and clarity of ideas, as well as to highlight areas for refinement. This book is deeply personal, and while it reflects my current faith, I’ve written it with an open hand—aimed at seekers, skeptics, and believers alike. If you enjoy books like The Unseen Realm or Magicians of the Gods, this might pique your interest. To add a little context, beyond a much better product, my goal is to also polish and reduce word count to the 100,000 to 120,000 word range after receiving feedback.

The Book's Claim:
The overarching claim of the book is that the fragmented stories of humanity—from ancient myths and sacred symbols to modern advancements and existential questions—are not random. Instead, they form part of a divine narrative, carefully designed to reveal purpose, rebellion, and redemption.

Overview:
What if the pinecone and handbag motifs—separated by thousands of years and miles, appearing in diverse ancient civilizations—were not random, fragmented symbols but part of a divine tapestry revealing humanity’s search for the eternal?

This book explores the recurring theme of rebellion across time, from sacred patterns in megalithic architecture to myths of lost knowledge, tracing humanity’s pursuit of meaning in the shadows of defiance. It connects these ancient echoes with modern advancements in science, technology, and consciousness—pointing to hints of an unseen realm that still calls out to humanity.

Anchored in the Christian worldview yet engaging with its mysteries through a slow introduction to the faith, the narrative dives into the universal human longing for something greater. It weaves together the patterns of rebellion, the rigor of modern discoveries, and the unyielding human search for redemption. From the technological achievements of the present to the spiritual symbols and unsolved mysteries of the past, this book offers a coherent lens through which to view humanity’s purpose, its struggles, and its ultimate hope.

For those drawn to the mysteries of the ancient world, the boundaries of science, and the longing for the eternal, this book invites you to see how every thread—whether ancient or modern—points toward a deeper truth and redemption.
