Before They Awaken

Before They Awaken, King David's Lost Crown, details the journey of a man bound in the chains of religious superstition and dogma to the very threshold of enlightenment. It is also a geographical journey, from Israel to Parthia as a slave, then back to Israel as a prince, eventually becoming one of the twelve disciples of Christ.

Twenty years in the making, from the author of "Rugged Mercy, a Country Doctor in Idaho's Sun Valley," comes a novel of the Christ Child, heavily researched for geographical, historical, and theological accuracy. Jason Richardson of Christian Books Today called it "brilliant stuff," and referred to it as being in the top 1%. Surprises and twists and turns abound in this historical mystery about the search for the solid gold crown worn by King David, an artifact possessing the power of the ancients, power to grant the bearer ultimate supremacy, power to rule the world, if that be the wish. Before Thery Awaken is a novel depicting the journey we all make, knowing of it or not, from the chains of superstition and dogma to the very threshold of enlightenment.
