Amazing relevant dual timeline book
Dead Sea Conspiracy is much more than I expected when I started out on this journey. Jerry has again written a book that feels authentic, and draws you immediately into the lives of the characters in both time lines.
When I read Terah’s story I am transported back in time to a place where faith in God is pushed aside in favor of gods made by mortal hands—not so much different from today’s culture. His inner conflict and subsequent repentance is a beautiful image of God’s love, forgiveness, and divine plan for each of us.
I loved the hints of connection as the story flows into the present. Nicole’s excitement is contagious as she seeks proof that corroborates scripture right in the middle of Muslim territory.
The description of the site, the country, and the people is a great backdrop to her faith and determination to present truth as she finds it.
Overall I liked the past timeline more than the present as the present timeline could have been fleshed out a bit more, but having said this, it did not distract from my enjoyment.
Of course there is more to the story than meets the eye, each page drawing the reader further into the action, and anxious for the outcome. I loved it.
