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.

The Scroll, written by Grant R. Jeffrey and Alton Gansky is an excellent book along the lines of a Cussler or Rollins novel. I found the archaeology angle very interesting and the action sequences paced very well.
The characters grow realistically throughout the book and the main characters progression from doubt back to belief is heartfelt.
I admit to skipping over the passages about the high priest’s clothing and the other artifacts that are being pursued in the book and found it very interesting to have aspects of their importance explained in a straight forward manner. The love of biblical archaeology is evident in the writing of the book and the excitement of the search is passed on to the reader.
A definite must-read and a book I am happy to recommend.
