Try "The Masada Scroll." 1st-century archeological fiction; I picked it up because Rufus of Cyrene is a minor player and it turned out to be a pretty good story. What are the odds, right?

Indeed! Thanks for the suggestion. Come on people, help me out here!! I need some guidance.

i read a book a couple of months ago that i just loved. i'm generally not fond of romances, but this one was given to me by the author, whom i know from another message board, so i read it. it was kinda like a "somewhere in time" type book, with a (don't stone me) reincarnation theme, but it's a beautiful love story, and it's not sleazy. only twice in the story was sex alluded to... actually, i should say hinted at, and the couple was married. the book is called fool's gold.

i think one of the things i liked most about it was that, even though it was a love story and was published by a romance publisher, the majority of the book had very little to do with romance. it was more of a mystery.

ok, let me explain. a woman was hired by some corrupt guy to find a buried treasure in the nevada wilderness. he had half the map, she had to go fake her way into this indian family and convince them that she was part of the family, which was fairly easy since she looked identical to the woman whom she was claiming to be the great grand-daughter of, so she could get her hands on the other half of the map. the reincarnation part is that she was actually the reincarnation of the supposed great grandmother. there are a whole lot of twists to the plot, many more than you usually find in a romance, and for once i really was blindsided by almost every one of them, right up to the very end.

anyway, it's called fool's gold and is written by sandra de taranto.

Thank you. It sounds very promising!

here's the blurb from it... another suggestion or two, if you can get your hands on them, but i think they are probably out of print, would be israel, my beloved (kay arthur) and the book called sacajawea. i don't remember the author, but it was really well written.

anyway, here's the blurb from the cover...

Fool's Gold ~ Con-artist Rio Laraquette thought it was merely an enchanted tale about star-crossed lovers who left behind a fortune. That is, until she figures out ~ in a past life ~ she was the culprit who stole the treasure and buried it somewhere in the hills of northern Nevada. While searching for a treasure, Rio finds is a hole in her heart that aches for a man who's been dead for more than one hundred years. They say time heals all wounds ~ but what if it doesn't ...

When I first started to study the Bible, I discovered that I really didn't understand what feelings and emotions humans experience. I was introduced to a simple, but thought out book called Hinds Feet On High Places, by Hannah Hurnard. It is a simple read, and one I would recommend to any teenager or young adult. If a child is advance in maturity, I would recommend it tho them also.

Here is a link to familiarize yourself with the book.

What styles do you like?

Anyway, right now I am reading The Circle Trilogy (the individual book names are Black, Red and White) by Ted Dekker. I am liking it.

I'm a big fan of Terri Blackstock, but I already have all her books. I LOVE mystery/suspense.
