The Lost Bible



MarksvilleandMe reviews
The Lost Bible
written by
L. Rosenman


Looking for a religious, romance, adventure story? Then look no further then The Lost Bible by L. Rosenman. I am not a big Romance reader but I don't mind if there is enough adventure in it, and since this included history mixed with fiction it made it that much more enjoyable.

Even though I am a Christian myself I still enjoy lots of different genres of books. I have always been an avid reader and the only thing that has slowed me down over the years has been time with my family, which as always comes over reading.

You can purchase The Lost Bible on Amazon.

Book Description :
"What would you say if you suddenly received a mysterious phone call from someone telling you that there weren’t forty-eight of Gutenberg’s books, but forty-nine?”

Hannah, a green-eyed beauty, finds herself in mid-life with no husband, no work, and no clear direction. Following a promising ad, she joins an enthusiastic professor on a perilous search for a lost copy of the Gutenberg Bible, last seen in the 16th century. To succeed where others failed, they must decipher ancient encrypted texts, enter monasteries and torture cellars - and avoid dangerous criminals who will stop at nothing to lay their hands on this priceless antiquity. But then they are forced to face an even greater challenge... 

This suspenseful romance reveals an ancient love that drowned in blood 500 years ago, yet has endured to this day.

The Chosen



MarksvilleandMe reviews 
The Chosen Book 1
written by
Shlomo Kalo


If you happen to like the story of Daniel in the Bible then you might like this book. The Chosen looks into the life of Daniel from a child. I enjoyed as a child and now as an adult the books of the Bible but it is nice for someone else to put it all together into a story, that you can read in one sitting instead of having to bounce around in the Bible. 

For those of you who haven't read the Bible or those interested in the life of Daniel this would be the book for you. 

You can purchase the Chosen on Amazon.


Book Description:
An Epic Novel Based on the Biblical story of Daniel
Separated from his family, his homeland and his childhood sweetheart, Daniel, a Judean youth of noble lineage, is exiled to Babylon, where his captors hope to use his talents at the Royal court.
What will eventually become of the youth - as he is subjected to grueling trials and tests - neither he nor his captors can even imagine...
Shlomo Kalo’s masterpiece of Biblical literature, THE CHOSEN, is being republished in three volumes. Kalo, one of the most prolific writers in Israel and a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, brings to new life the themes and spirit of the Biblical story of Daniel in this lively, dramatic epic novel. His masterwork of storytelling weaves together the themes of faith, friendship, betrayal, love stronger than death, and redemption.
˃˃˃ The first installment, Book 1 THE YOUTH
In THE YOUTH, Daniel and three friends are among those forcibly sent to Babylon to serve in court after the conquest of Jerusalem by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar. The long and tortuous journey from Jerusalem to Babylon is filled with danger, as well as reminiscences of his love since childhood, Nejeen, and his slain father, Prince Naimel.
Once in Babylon, the youths are educated in their roles in service of the King, learning the Chaldean language and the ways of the court. Daniel passes an early test, refusing to partake of non-kosher meat and wine, being allowed to eat what is their diet for ten days.
Daniel’s powers of prayer and healing, along with his excellence in studies and horseback riding, gain him great supporters in court, as well as jealousy and hostility from others in Babylon, leading to the first attempt on his life by his own compatriots.
