The Keys Of Noah

FOR CENTURIES, it has been told that the Holy Ark of Noah rests hidden high on the magnificence of Mount Ararat. Unknowingly within it, a five thousand year old mystery awaits to be discovered, a secret which throughout time has only been realized by a chosen few. Through dreams and prophecies, a geologist becomes entwined in the oldest and greatest mystery of all time, plunging him into a series of amazing adventures. The Keys of Noah follows Justis Burwell on his perilous quest towards the near impossible task that is innocently bestowed upon him. He becomes aware that in ancient times, Noah possessed two keys: one made from a unique special gold and the other a thing of wonder! As Justis wades deeper into the lake of fascination and intrigue, he comes to the realization that there is possibly something on the Ark that wasn’t supposed to be there. Will it be Justis’s destiny to be the one who solves the intricate age-old puzzle that has eluded everyone else for millennia—or will it be the one who seeks to destroy him who prevails and fulfills the Hope of Shem? Will divine providence allow Noah’s ancient secret of the keys to come to light in today’s world, and does the phantom secret within the inner sanctum of the Ark have a secret of its own?

Years ago, space pirates attacked the Earth, and the inhabitants of the planet, who were caught off-guard, could do nothing. All the children on the planet had been kidnapped by pirates. Despite all the searches, no traces of the space pirates and children were found. In the following year of this great pain, two children came to Earth, and hopes rose again on the planet. However, these enemies, which attacked again years later, entered the planet without entering the radars. These two children were taken off the planet by their families in a spacecraft to be safe. They were traveling through space, unaware that they would become the hero of a mysterious mission. They suddenly find themselves on a desolate planet, facing the same fate as Earth, where they will face too many problems to solve. in NOAH

Ali Bobrow is an otherworldly single parent with an overwrought nine-year-old daughter, a malevolent ex and his grabby new wife, and an underused artistic talent. A pushover when it comes to needy neighbors and uninvited children, she allows her house to be the local drop-in center, until she collides with Noah Glazer, who falls for her pale red hair. A solid man of science, Noah walks into her over-populated life bringing good sense, order, and security. But ten years later, Ali is drawn back into the complexities of her past; an old lover, two ex-spouses, a colleague from clown school, and a small smuggled cat all help to rock the boat.

I have become a literary evangelist on her behalf." --Elizabeth Gilbert

""The True Story of Noah: How Elohim Became the One True God explores the origins of this well known biblical story from a unique angle. Using related literature and information provided, Barger probes further to understand the likeliest resting spot of the ark. In the process, he provides a deluge of enriching historical information that revolves around Noah and the origins of man. Barger's discourse is intriguing and would particularly spark engaging conversation in a college humanities lecture... references to many familiar figures from creation myths and stories, such as The Epic of Gilgamesh, will keep the reader involved. This book is just as much about the story of how Noah came to be as it is about the final resting spot of the ark. For serious readers of the humanities who have a passion for ancient, biblical history and how it came to be, Barger's story is a worthwhile read."" --Mihir Shah, The U.S. Review

How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood. In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world’s flood stories and—drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists—discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.
