The Map of the Carpenter

by James R. Fox

For centuries rumors have spread in regards to a map that told about the location of perhaps the most sacred artifact known to mankind the cross which Jesus was crucified upon. What makes this map so valuable is the cartographer who created it Jesus Christ Himself! Come with us now as we search for its location with our heroes, Fathers Luke OMalley and Roy Hanley, along with Professor Philip Kasstajet and his constant companion and dearest and loyal friend Numomo Tobasso. Together, they embark for distant Mozambique, Spain, Ireland, and Malta. Only to be separated back in the States between Key West, New York, and Maine. As if this wasnt enough excitement, add to the boiling cauldron, the ever--present Levi Al Natas, old Satan himself! So find a comfortable seat and make sure all the doors and windows are secure. You are about to take a trip which will leave you guessing, what will happen next right up to the last page. If you are not satisfied with how most modern novels come to a sanitary conclusion, you will be asking and craving for more books to be written like The Map of the Carpenter.

"The Map of the Carpenter" is an intriguing and well-written fiction. The author has done a superb job taking the reader through a journey of mystery, history and discovery. I thought the name, "Carpenter" was well-chosen. It is not just another ... Jesus title. I believed in all the characters that were within the book. I felt curious about what was going to happen in the next scene. I believe that many people, regardless of being religious or not, will enjoy reading this great fiction. I can only guess that there would be a big demand for this type of story to be made into a T.V. series. Perhaps, the characters make different discoveries and find new maps. I guess, you can tell, that I did not wish for the story to end. If continuing the story is not something that the author would consider, I believe the story could make it into a good part series or movie. I have watched documentaries before where they try to trace back findings to that period. To read a story that feeds into one's curiosity about the past, true or fiction, was very appealing to me. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes history turned into fiction. I also believe that anyone who enjoys little bit of mystery with suspense will also like this book.
