In the riveting follow-up to The Masada Scroll, delve into a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that remains as relevant today as ever.In Masada, the discovery of a previously unknown gospel sets in motion a powerful chain of events that rocks religious communities across the globe. This sacred scroll, penned by Dismas bar-Dismas, introduces an enigmatic symbol uniting elements of Christianity's Cross, Judaism's Star of David, and Islam's Crescent and Star. Bar-Dismas also espouses the concept of unity among Christians, Jews, and Muslims by outlining the three paths to God. The gospel's existence attracts the attention of Via Dei, a dangerous sect hell-bent on perpetuating religious conflict. Father Michael Flannery, the prophesied Keeper of the Sign, is destined to bring peace to the world through this gospel. Once a translator of the scroll, he narrowly survives an assassination attempt while en route to a historic symposium in New York, where the world's largest religious groups gather. Via Dei is determined to silence Father Flannery and prevent his message from reaching the world. Woven into the fabric of this contemporary suspense are the trials of Tobias Garlande, a scholar living during the First Crusade. Plagued by visions of future calamities, Tobias, too, is a Keeper of the Sign, and his warning to Father Flannery reverberates across centuries: Failure is not an option.Combining international intrigue and suspense with fascinating historical detail, Armor of God explores the ramifications of true faith with a compelling tale of past and present religious turmoil and touching human drama.

In the great tradition of classic novels like The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas and, more recently, Christ the Lord by Anne Rice and Stone Tables by Orson Scott Card, The Masada Scroll is bold and reverent, with deep and important meaning for today's world.At the core of this timely narrative lies the revelation of a previously undiscovered gospel predating the four New Testament gospels. The ancient scroll introduces a mysterious symbol fusing the Star of David, the Christian Cross, and the Crescent and Star of Islam, symbols that didn't exist during the gospel's writing, adding to the mystery that the Irish priest, Michael Flannery, must unravel.Flannery soon discovers that the symbol embodies the concept of Trevia Dei, or the Three Paths to God. At its heart lies Jesus's message of unity among these paths to reach God. Over the centuries, the true essence of Trevia Dei became distorted, reducing the message of unity to a single path to salvation. However, there are those who seek to obstruct the transmission of this illuminating message of love and light to our troubled world, opting for division rather than unity among God's children.The Masada Scroll unfolds the saga of the new Apostles and their relentless struggle to reintroduce Jesus's simple message into a world longing for joy. It is a tale of the timeless quest for spiritual truth and redemption that will change the way you look at the world...and your own heart.
