Search for ancient treasures

This is a great book, difficult to put down. I was a little dissatisfied with the ending, though. Not with how it ended, but how quickly and neatly things wrapped up, after all the suspense and intrigue earlier in the book, it seemed that the story just ended. Regardless, it wasn't a waste of time, and I liked reading this book.

First off, I couldn't finish this. The story jumped around wildly with a cast of characters too large to keep up with. I felt lost, waiting for the author to open the curtain and make it all come together, but the longer I read the worse it got. Bummer.

Very interesting, especially in this current time.

I enjoyed this story, and learned more about Jewish biblical history. Will read another of her books soon.

This was a good mystery with likeable characters. I appreciated the religious research that must have gone into it.

This is the second in this series and tells of the search for the primary objects needed for the High Priest of the Jewish Temple. It was a page turner but less of a mystery then The Priest which was the first book. Things went almost to easily this time where the search for the high priest was more complicated. The Characters were still very personable and I came to care how their lives were playing out. I will read anything written by Ellen Gunderson Taylor.

Good light reading. Wish I had read the #1 first, but this books "recaps" as it goes on so you don't have to. That was a bit annoying, but kept you in the loop.

Excellent! Great book to discuss Jewish traditions as they relate to Christian prophecy. Really, just a great read as well.
