If you've ever wanted to go to Israel but haven't been able to afford a ticket, this book is an excellent alternative.
Rivka Meyers, an American Messicanic Jew working on an archaelogical dig in Jerusalem for the summer, is tricked into playing a reality game. An evil scientist wants to murder the Apostle Paul in order to stop the spread of Christianity and change the future of the world.
When Rivka plays the game, it traps her in ancient Jerusalem. In order to foil the plot of the mad scientist, she has to decide whether or not to stay in ancient times or go back to the present.
I enjoyed the book not so much for the plot but because I love Israel and I was fascinated with the descriptions of the Holy City and the social rules of its people. Ingermanson paints pictures so vividly you truly feel you are walking the streets with the Apostle Paul and experiencing what it was like to be in Jerusalem in ancient times.
Since I am fascinated with archaeology, and I love Israel and the Biblical holidays, this book was an excellent fit for me. This book blends history, science and theology effortlessly without sounding preachy or canned.
The author is a physicist. And he's also my teacher. I took his Fiction 101 course and learned so much that I am constantly going back and reviewing what I learned over and over again.
