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."
In the previous excerpt, the time-travelers were forced to continue their stay in 33 A.D. Jerusalem due to a problem with the ship. This enables them to glimpse the taking of Jesus to Caiaphas for trial...I included this event to show the change in the attitude of the crowd from the previous day, and the surprise of time-travelers at this change, and to lead gently up to the horror of the crucifixion,
Stay tuned.
Book Excerpt
Impossible Journey, A Tale of Times and Truth
The next day finds our friends working hard to fix the trouble. Walt helps for a while on the interior trouble and then goes outside to finish replacing the tiles. Suddenly, he hears the sound of many voices coming from the street. He enters the ship to tell the others: "Hey, guys, it seems like there’s some excitement out there. Why don’t we take a break and go have a look." "We have been working pretty hard at this agrees Kerry. "What? Are you guys going to leave me again?" "Well, you could come along. This work will wait." "Ah, I guess I might as well. No use being the only one of us who hasn’t seen 33 A.D." ************ They can barely see, at the front of the crowd, a man bound and being led along by the mob. As they push their way through the crowd to get a better view, Walt asks someone, "Who are they taking?" "Why Jesus of Nazareth. Don’t you know?" "But he seemed to be so popular the other day." "That was then. He’s been arrest on the charge of blasphemy, and we’re taking him to Caiaphas for trial." "Wow!" whispers Walt to Daniel, “We certainly did come at a historic moment!" "Yeah, I guess so. Something like seeing the shooting of old Abe Lincoln--Now, there’s an event I wish I could have witnessed."
