I read it back in April. While I did enjoy this book and read it within 24 hours, I feel that I have to be honest. There is nothing unusual in this novel....Lots of people dream about finding the one scroll that proves Jesus WAS alive and that he DID perform miracles and that he WAS the Son of God. Noone has ever found such a scroll for real in the last 2000 years, so I doubt that anyone ever will find such a scroll. I actually prefer novels set in Israel that have a different angle on them. Novels like The Samson Effect. That was a totally different and unexpected angle, and those are the sort of books I prefer. The secret scroll

I don't want to be overly harsh, and yet I believe I have a responsibility to my readers who trust my reviews; so I am always honest, even if it is tough to be so.

You've done well setting forth the shortcomings of these books which is so helpful to those of us who want to be fair yet accurate in how we perceive the books we read and the ultimate reviews we write.
