Dear Readers,
I am not a big fan of 'end times' books & I did go into this book knowing who Grant Jeffrey is and what he studies and writes about. But since I love Alton Gansky I decided to read this book anyways. I am glad of that and for the most part I liked this book, but it is also what I expected.
What if Israel had plans to rebuild the temple? What kind of response would that ignite around the world? What if the only thing holding them back is that they don't have any of the temple artifacts?
This is idea behind The Scroll by Grant Jeffrey and Alton Gansky.
Dr. David Chambers has walked away from the career that made him who he was. In fact it was a career that he loved until he lost his faith in God. So who or what can draw him back into biblical archeology?
Only one person, David's mentor, Abram Ben-Judah and only if he was offering something very very big. When David and Abram meet, David is sure he knows what he will say to Abram about his offer, that is until Abram explains that they believe that they have found the 'map' to the temple artifacts. Is David interested in helping Israel recover their lost treasures?
So begins this archeology book. It has some very good parts. Parts that are fast paced, parts that taught me something about the history of the treasures of the temple, and parts that taught me about different prophecies in the Bible. All which make for a good read. The only problem I really had with the book was the last few chapters and the Epilogue. They feel like they were just stuck on the end for no real reason. They didn't fit with the rest of the story at all. To me it feels like Grant wanted to make sure we knew about the prophecies in the Bible about the rebuilding of the temple. Which is actually too bad, because until that point this is a pretty good book.
Happy Reading.
