2025 scientists plan to time-travel to Eden to prevent the fall and thus put an end to all evil and disease in the world. But they can only travel 200 years, more or less, at a time. Having gained the needed financial support from wealthy financier, Mark Lewis, the scientists manage to build the first time machine in which three of them take off on their imposing mission.
They visit six different historical time periods, including:: • The California Gold Rush of 1849 • Colonial Philadelphia of 1775 • The Renaissance • Legendary Camelot Each historical time period they visit points in some way to the true answer they are seeking. But they ignore the obvious and go on blindly with their mission. At one point, they are pulled forward unexpectedly to their future where robots serve and are forced to fight in a senseless war (WWIII).
I, was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on June 8, 1943 to a Christian family and accepted Jesus at an early age. In Jr. High School, I became interested in writing and drama. I wrote poems, articles and a few short stories, and plays. In college, I won second prize in a contest with a Biblical short story, which now forms part of my first novel, “Of Such Is The Kingdom, A novel of the Christ and the Roman Empire,” published in 2003.
In 2010, I wrote the sequel, “Of Such Is the Kingdom, Part III,
Power and Persecution, A Novel of the early Church and the Roman Empire.”
I also wrote a Sci-fi novel, “Impossible Journey, A Tale of Times and Truth” and a non-fiction book, “Principles of the Kingdom."
I graduated from Clearwater Christian College in 1970 with a B.A. degree in Bible-Literature, and from Biblical School of Theology in 1974 with a M. Div. Ordained in November, 1974, I served as assistant pastor/Bible teacher in several churches. I also served in a foreign-student ministry, where I met my wife, Berenice Carett from Venezuela.
In 2014 I wrote an American historical novel, called "The Christmas Victory."
This bubblet (short excerpt) picks up where the last one left off. The time travelers having decided to check out the scene in AD33 Jerusalem where they have landed, They walk down down the road and spot a crowd of people listening to Jesus, and are, at first, impressed. I suppose I could have jumped right to the crucifixion, but I wanted to first let them see both the man Jesus in his role as teacher, and also the crowd to show a contrast from this scene to the trial.
Book Excerpt
Impossible Journey, A Tale of Times and Truth
They walk along the dusty road, admiring the rolling hillside, dotted with quaint houses and huge, spreading trees. Suddenly, they notice, on one side, a crowd of people a short distance ahead. "I wonder what that’s all about." "Well, let’s go and see!" And so our friends find themselves in the midst of a crowd, listening to a man talking. "I do not come to judge the world,” the man is saying, "but to save the world.” His words seem to have a kind of power. "Could it be him?" "Probably. One way to find out." Walt nudges the man next to him in the crowd and asks, "Who is that man who’s speaking?" "Why, Jesus of Nazareth. Everybody knows about him!" "And those men there next to him--who are they?" "Why, his disciples, of course. Where have you been?" As they listen, they are impressed by the love and power in his words. "He’s quite a speaker." "Sure is. But listen to what he’s saying now." "I do not speak on my own,” Jesus was saying, "but the Father who sent me has commanded me what to say." "Pretty impressive, eh?" "Nah! Prophets always say things like that. Well, I guess we’d better get back and give Daniel a hand at fixing the ship." "Yeah, we’ve seen enough. Let’s go."
