Soldiers Temples And Crystals

Luke Alexander's father is "missing, presumed dead." But Luke is confident that his father has set off on an adventure and needs his help. Searching through his father's office, Luke—along with his friends Nathan, a pastor's kid, and Lydia, a world traveler who knows several languages—discovers some confusing notes about Isaac Newton and finds a strange watch that once belonged to his grandfather. Knowing his archaeologist father was on the hunt for Solomon's temple, Luke and his friends decide to start a search of their own. Little do they know that their search will take them on the wildest adventures of their lives and make the stories of Solomon's temple and other biblical events seem more real than they ever thought possible. But will their adventures lead them to Luke's father, or will they only wind up with more questions than answers? Soldiers, Temples, and Crystals is an excellent book for anyone who loves a good adventure and who wants to find the truth that is found only in God's Word. This first book in The Newton Chronicles will make history and the Bible come alive for readers both young and old.

“It was said Treemoonia had a memory that helped to keep important things important . . . ” In the trees of Treemoonia, the people are content, work hard, and help each other. If they follow the Parabole, the book that tells of how they began, then their land is blessed. But not everyone believes in the Parabole or the Winds of Treemoonia, and they must deal with the consequences of their unbelief deep beneath the sheltering trees of their homeland. Tommy is just another Treemoonian child, enjoying a siesta day with his friends, with his sister underfoot. Annoyed that she insists on following him, Tommy does his best to lose her—that is, until he actually loses her for real. As Tommy frantically tries to find his sister, he stumbles across a stepping vine leading beneath Treemoonia. Knowing his sister may have followed the same vine, Tommy soon finds himself going deep down into a dark world, where creatures are not what they appear and where his questions are met with hatred and fear. Will Tommy be able to find his way back home with his sister safely in-hand? Or will the creatures beneath Treemoonia swallow him up for good and keep him captive in his disbelief? The answers can be found only in the Parabole—if only Tommy will believe what he already knows.
