The Scroll by Grant Jeffrey and Alton Gansky - Book Trailer

About the book . . .

One last dig. One final descent into the twisted tunnels of ancient Jerusalem. Will the truth be fund 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 fi ll 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 fiancée, 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 offers a different journey: a gripping adventure to find truth worth dying for.

Reader Review . . .

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.
