Sacred Treasures — James Palmer

It's a.d. 70. The Romans have destroyed the temple of Jerusalem. People are running, screaming, looking for escape. A small band of Jewish Christians flees to the relative safety of a ship heading out to sea. They hope to reach a land known only from whispers and ancient legends. They've packed food and supplies for the long voyage. And that's not all they're carrying . . . Diane Thompson, single mom and ordinary twenty-first century woman, doesn't expect to encounter a mystery the day she walks into her favorite antique shop and scurries up to the top floor. But a chance meeting with an elderly woman turns Diane's world upside down. She is given a precious golden artifact and a task: find a treasure that will change mankind forever. Diane takes her task seriously. She follows clues that lead her up and down the eastern seaboard and eventually underground, into danger and adventure she never imagined. Along the way, she meets Robert, an archeologist and treasure hunter, and Rachel, a historian, who appear to be on the same quest but carry a different artifact. Is this by chance, or is there a higher power at work in their lives? Adventure awaits Diane, Robert, and Rachel as they • locate a historical treasure in the mountains of West Virginia, • follow clues to a secret that has been hidden for over a thousand years, • search underground caves used by ancient explorers, and • discover the greatest treasure mankind will ever know. The adventurer inside of you will be awakened as you join their search for Sacred Treasures
