She wants a new life.
He’s in danger of losing his.
Will love solve everything — or immerse them in even worse peril?
Luke Alexander’s father is “missing, presumed dead.” But Luke is confident that his father has set off on an adventure and needs his help. Searching through his father’s office, Luke – along with his friends Nathan, a pastor’s kid, and Lydia, a world traveler who knows several languages – discovers some confusing notes about Isaac Newton and finds a strange watch that once belonged to his grandfather. Knowing his archeologist father was on the hunt for Solomon’s temple, Luke and his friends decide to start a search of their own. Little do they know that their search will take them on the wildest adventures of their lives and make the stories of Solomon’s temple and other biblical events seem more real than they ever thought possible. But will their adventures lead them to Luke’s father, or will they only wind up with more questions than answers? Soldiers, Crystals, and Temples is an excellent book for anyone who loves a good adventure and who wants to find the truth that is found only in God’s Word. This first book in The Newton Chronicles will make history and the Bible come alive for readers both young and old.
BOOK EXCERPT
The Newton Chronicles: Soldiers, Crystals, and Temples Excerpt 4
He hesitates.
I look up at Nathan, who has grown nearly eight inches in the last year. His noticeable growth spurt is the reason for the sudden disappearance of his nickname “Short Stack,” which has haunted him since first grade. The increase in height didn’t do anything to reduce the number of freckles on his face or the thick, orange hair on his head. I am thankful that I am an ordinary-looking guy with brown hair.
“I know. She is,” I agree. “But she doesn’t act like she is pretty. That’s the good thing.”
“Yeah, I’m afraid to talk to her,” Nathan admits. “Why? She’s nice.”
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I’m not sure if I should talk to her in French, Spanish, German, Latin, or whatever other language she speaks.”
“So, you think because she has taken classes in different languages and traveled all over the world, she’s too smart for you to talk to?” I ask.
“Pretty much,” Nathan says. “But you shouldn’t have trouble talking to her with all your math brains. I mean you have all that statistics and math knowledge. I only ever take extra Bible study classes because my dad makes me.”
