Wow！ What a ride！ Jerry Jenkins has done it again。 It was a real page turner！ It seems each chapter ended in a cliff hanging moment and you had to keep going。 The story flashed between present day and Biblical times which I loved。 They really did their homework too。 I kept checking my Bible and there were the names and places。 I appreciate that。 When I started， I had no idea there was a first book in this series but it doesn’t matter - this book stands on its own！ I would highly recommend！

Dead Sea Conspiracy is much more than I expected when I started out on this journey。 Jerry has again written a book that feels authentic， and draws you immediately into the lives of the characters in both time lines。 When I read Terah’s story I am transported back in time to a place where faith in God is pushed aside in favor of gods made by mortal hands—not so much different from today’s culture。 His inner conflict and subsequent repentance is a beautiful image of God’s love， forgiveness， and Dead Sea Conspiracy is much more than I expected when I started out on this journey。 Jerry has again written a book that feels authentic， and draws you immediately into the lives of the characters in both time lines。 When I read Terah’s story I am transported back in time to a place where faith in God is pushed aside in favor of gods made by mortal hands—not so much different from today’s culture。 His inner conflict and subsequent repentance is a beautiful image of God’s love， forgiveness， and divine plan for each of us。 I loved the hints of connection as the story flows into the present。 Nicole’s excitement is contagious as she seeks proof that corroborates scripture right in the middle of Muslim territory。 The description of the site， the country， and the people is a great backdrop to her faith and determination to present truth as she finds it。 Overall I liked the past timeline a bit more that the present as the present timeline could have been fleshed out a bit more， but having said this， it did not distract from my enjoyment。 Of course there is more to the story than meets the eye， each page drawing the reader further into the action， and anxious for the outcome。 I loved it。 。。。more

assembles a team and begins her search， but will her enemy get to her first？ And in a parallel storyline taking the reader back to ancient Ur， Terah forsakes his gods—and the king as well。 Will his wife and young son， Abram， be spared？From New York Times bestselling author Jerry B。 Jenkins comes the second book in the Dead Sea Chronicles， “Dead Sea Conspiracy”。Though somewhat familiar with the Left Behind series， this was the first Jerry B。 Jenkins series I’d decided to read。 Having been intrigued by “Dead Sea Rising” and wanting to see where the story would go， I dove into “Dead Sea Conspiracy” with high hopes and genuine interest。 Though there had been some things in the first novel that did not meet my fancy， I was expecting the tale to ratchet up and deepen my excitement in the second installment。I closed the book feeling slightly disappointed， but it was still an interesting read， and I don’t feel that I wasted my time at all。 In the end， I would recommend this book to others who are interested in similar fiction novels。 I would give it 3。5 stars， if Goodreads allowed such a rating。From a helicopter view， “Dead Sea Conspiracy” is intriguing—enough to keep me reading—but I didn’t feel that it was overwhelmingly so。 However， the prospect of searching the ground beneath for ancient archeological treasures was engaging， and the characters were well-written。 The settings and scenes were visually stirring and accurate， as far as I know。 The plot also had a couple of unexpected twists， which I believe improved its overall appeal to the reader。However， as I read “Dead Sea Conspiracy”， I found myself frequently speed-reading through the narrative of Nicole’s Archeological Dig to get back to the parallel storyline in ancient Ur。 I am unsure if this is because of a lack of real progression in Nicole’s storyline or a lack of my own personal interest in the more mundane aspects of archeology。 Her story seemed to drag a little， but maybe it was just me。I do know that I found Terah and his parallel storyline in ancient Ur much more gripping and emotionally connecting。 His character arc was much more transformational and intriguing， and his struggles were real。 Terah dies halfway through the book， which was mildly disappointing but understandable， as the storyline had to continue。 It picked up with his son Abram， father of Isaac and Ishmael—but I was never brought close to Abram， to connect with him and to see and understand his struggles， pain， and desires。 I didn’t feel close to him， and in fact only seemed to drift further and further away as the story progressed。 Eventually， the narrative took a far less personal and more informative tone comparable to what we read of Abram in the Bible。 The narrative then keeps with this informative tone until it reaches the point it was driving toward—the moment Abraham blesses his two sons， Isaac and Ishmael， on his deathbed。 With this rather unclimactic final scene， the parallel storyline then draws to a close， and we are returned to modern day Saudi Arabia for the remainder of the book。I found several other points throughout the book that didn’t quite meet my expectations， but I’ll only mention one more。 In the storyline of ancient Ur， Terah appears to turn from his idol worship， and then proceeds through a dizzying set of works as penance for his ungodly deeds。 Yet it seems that God still does not accept him。 This concludes with Terah nearly jumping in a fire to kill himself before God stops him， saying， “Do not lay a hand on yourself， for now I know that you fear Me and are willing to die for your sins。” Though perhaps unintentional， this， in my view， portrays the one true God as not-too-unlike other gods， who demand unending acts of penance and merciless sacrifice to appease their wrath。 This is nothing like the true God。 Our works would never satisfy him， and our blood would never satisfy Him either。 Payment for our sins could only ever have been satisfied in Christ， our sacrificial Lamb。 Whether or not we are willing to physically die to pay for our sins is not the issue。 Salvation comes through Christ and Christ alone， even for Old Testament believers， who understood that their only hope was in the One to come who would crush the head of the Serpent and restore the relationship between God and man。To conclude， I want to reiterate that I did enjoy reading this book， though I was disappointed by certain aspects that were not up to par with my expectations。 If I knew someone who was interested in archeology and loved Christian Fiction， I would certainly recommend this book to them。 However， if they weren’t intrigued by the workings of archeology and weren’t interested in the origins of Israeli/Islamic conflict， I would probably say that it isn’t the book for them。 。。。more

This is the conclusion of a duology。 As a result， it is helpful to read the books in order， as this one picks up where the first book ended。 Dr。 Nicole wasn't as strong of a character as I would've expected or liked。 Also， she seems a bit unsure of the importance of her mission （and the meaning behind the dig）。 There were some lulls in the story， created by information that seemed a bit unnecessary。 There were a couple unexpected twists。 Some parts of the story felt a bit preachy。While both time This is the conclusion of a duology。 As a result， it is helpful to read the books in order， as this one picks up where the first book ended。 Dr。 Nicole wasn't as strong of a character as I would've expected or liked。 Also， she seems a bit unsure of the importance of her mission （and the meaning behind the dig）。 There were some lulls in the story， created by information that seemed a bit unnecessary。 There were a couple unexpected twists。 Some parts of the story felt a bit preachy。While both timelines were well done， I preferred the biblical one a bit more。 I enjoyed Terah's wife more than I liked him。 There was more closure with the biblical timeline， as well， and I enjoyed reading a bit more about familiar figures from the Bible。 I haven't read any books with a similar premise （modern-day archeologist combined with the biblical story of Abraham）。 Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy， but I wasn't required to leave a positive review。 。。。more

3。5 stars for this dual timeline novel by Jerry B。 Jenkins。 I'll start by saying that I loved the premise of this book。 A dual timeline （my favorite style） where the modern timeline takes place at an archeological dig searching for proof of Abraham， and the historic timeline starts with Abraham as a boy and goes through his father Terah's life。 The possibilities were fascinating and Jerry B。 Jenkins is a legend in Christian fiction。 Unfortunately， this one fell a bit short for me。 While the writ 3。5 stars for this dual timeline novel by Jerry B。 Jenkins。 I'll start by saying that I loved the premise of this book。 A dual timeline （my favorite style） where the modern timeline takes place at an archeological dig searching for proof of Abraham， and the historic timeline starts with Abraham as a boy and goes through his father Terah's life。 The possibilities were fascinating and Jerry B。 Jenkins is a legend in Christian fiction。 Unfortunately， this one fell a bit short for me。 While the writing style was good and the story itself was interesting， I found the characters to be not as relatable and the conversations often seemed stilted。 I think part of my struggle was that I didn't realize this was book 2 until I committed to reading it。 While the story itself stood alone， there was some history I was missing by not having read book 1。 I think I also had higher expectations than if this had been an unknown author to me as well。 This book follows Dr。 Nicole Bergman in the modern timeline as she embarks on the dig of a lifetime。 Having worked hard to get to where she is， she is still surprised to be granted the opportunity both as a Messianic Jew and as a woman to lead a dig in Saudi Arabia。 When she finds an inscription on the dig that seems to support her theories， things begin to go horribly wrong。 Can she keep control of her site and prove to the world what she found？ In the historic timeline， Terah has sent off his wife and son in order to keep them safe when he's confronted by the Almighty with his own sins。 As he seeks to make things right， will he survive to let his wife and son know what happened？ The historic timeline includes the story of the Tower of Babel， the legend of King Nimrod， and Abraham's history from age 10 through his death。 It was interesting to see the author's speculation on Terah's life as not much is known about him。 However， once we got to Abraham's time， the historic timeline came directly from scripture and didn't really expound too much on more。While I enjoyed the story itself， I did not find myself caring enough about the characters to go back and read the first book or to read any future books in this series。 Because I've enjoyed other books by this author， I will continue to read his works， but will be more cautious with my expectations。 I would still recommend this one to readers who enjoy reading about archaeology and biblical historical fiction and would probably recommend this series be read in order。 Special thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-copy of this novel。 I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own。 。。。more

I didn’t read the first book in this series， which is something I decided to do for a different perspective。 While I’m sure there were probably many things Dead Sea Rising set up for its Conspiracy successor， I did not feel lost in having read these books out of order。 Heads up， there are some spoilers。Dr。 Nicole Berman seemed to be the kind of person who lived in her own bubble despite being so book smart… or maybe because of it？ Either way， even though I came into this read with zero history， I didn’t read the first book in this series， which is something I decided to do for a different perspective。 While I’m sure there were probably many things Dead Sea Rising set up for its Conspiracy successor， I did not feel lost in having read these books out of order。 Heads up， there are some spoilers。Dr。 Nicole Berman seemed to be the kind of person who lived in her own bubble despite being so book smart… or maybe because of it？ Either way， even though I came into this read with zero history， I paused at the breadcrumbs in the beginning even when Nicole didn’t。 Someone had tried to kill Nicole’s mother because of Nic’s Saudi bid。 Okay， first book stuff。 But we see in the beginning of the second book Mom， who Nicole supposedly felt very close to， was well on her way to leaving the hospital when she suddenly died there instead。 Dad was all over that， but Nicole just wasn’t there with him in needing to understand what just really happened。 That peeked my curiosity because my immediate impression was mother and daughter had a healthy， loving relationship， so Nicole's watering things down made me pause to think about why she wasn’t suspicious like her Dad。 And then on top of that， I also already knew at this point Nic had not just one but two doctorates。 How can someone so intelligent still be so naïve and talk herself into thinking Mom’s death was unavoidable when an attempt had already been made on her life？ And then I thought， if Nicole was so focused on the Saudi dig and unearthing the truth of the past， then how could someone who was so determined to shine a light on history， not want to do the same in her own Mother’s death？ Nicole， Nicole。 You made me wonder about you from the very start because I couldn’t help but think， what else aren’t you seeing because of something that is now feeling like an obsession？ Personally， I enjoyed the author’s fill in the blanks when the timeline shifted to the past。 I liked the change in speech， I thought the author’s and biblical consultant’s interpretations of what actually happened were interesting， and I loved those here and there moments that reminded me of my grandmother throughout the story。 But there always is a darker side and King Nimrod definitely fit that and to a point， so did Terah。 Even though Terah did what he did to save his son， Abram， I got the clear feeling he was not an awful person like King Nimrod。 To me， it just showed how everyone has the capacity to cross that line we all draw for ourselves under the right circumstances。 In reflection， personally I couldn’t help but think if Terah had not lost faith in the Lord to begin with， then he wouldn’t have found himself caught between that rock and hard place when Nimrod’s stargazers sentenced Abram to death。 Such as the burdens that can be carried when some choices are made though… but then how much lighter they are when the Creator is in one’s heart。 I definitely felt that through Terah’s eyes。Always open to whatever catches my eye， I absolutely loved this story even though I am not one to typically pick up something with this much religion involved in a book。 So， if you’re looking for a different branch to hang out on， I highly recommend giving this one a try。 Dead Sea Conspiracy got me thinking as Nicole’s character worked for me and drew me in。 While I did enjoy the twists and turns and surprises in Nicole's timeline， it was Terah who was a bigger part of why I kept reading because I loved seeing how he was able to stand tall again despite his past。 。。。more

This was an interesting conclusion to this duology。 While in the first book the first two timelines didn't make sense on how they'd come together， after reading book two I look at it as a funnel。 In book one the timelines are far apart， but the closer we got to Abraham's life it starts to come together。Book two picks up right where the first one leaves off。 Doctor Nicole still seems like a flat character。 The author tries to write her as intense， but oftentimes I didn't find her to be that stron This was an interesting conclusion to this duology。 While in the first book the first two timelines didn't make sense on how they'd come together， after reading book two I look at it as a funnel。 In book one the timelines are far apart， but the closer we got to Abraham's life it starts to come together。Book two picks up right where the first one leaves off。 Doctor Nicole still seems like a flat character。 The author tries to write her as intense， but oftentimes I didn't find her to be that strong of a character。 She has an end goal in mind， but seems very naive to what her dig means to not only her team， the Saudis， and the world at large although she says she does。There were parts of the story that got my attention， especially as more comes to light in regards to those on her team， but other parts of her storyline felt like space filler。 There is an interesting twist that I was rather surprised about。 I also felt like the author was really trying hard to get a message across about salvation that didn't seem。。。subtle？ It just didn't feel like it flowed "naturally"？I ended up liking the Biblical times timeline better this time。 I think it's because I read the book and didn't listen to it。 Terah is still a rather simpering man。 I liked that God didn't give up on him even after all of the evil he did。 Honestly， I would've preferred to follow his wife， Belessunu。 lol She was much easier to read and like， but then we wouldn't have been able to see the change in Terah and his （very weak） faith in the Lord。I ended up liking how the storylines ended in both times， although I would've liked more closure in the current timeline。 I could see more books springing off the current timeline。 I liked that the Biblical time followed Scripture and the stories we know about Abraham， Sarah， and Issac。*I received the ebook for review。 This is my personal opinion。 。。。more
