Sign of The Cross

Another book of interest that I have enjoyed reading. Written by Chris Kuzneski, it talks about a treacherous secret that will rock the foundation of the Catholic faith. The story begins with the crucifixion of a catholic priest, and the discovery of a scroll in the Roman catacombs in Orvieto. The plot is very interestingly written. It creates a sense of suspense as to what was written on the scroll that had so many people killed. The crucifixion of the priest is only the beginning of the series of crucifixions that took place.The writer has successfully created doubts in the mind of the reader as to which part of the story is true and which is just pure fiction. If you have the time, pick up the book and have a read, it's interesting :-)

The Thirteen Apostle, the book I am currently reading. Written by Michael Benoit, it talks about the thirteenth disciple of Jesus. As we all know there are only 12 disciples but according to this, there is apparently a no 13. I have read a few books that contradict our catholic belief, and this is by far the most challenging of all. It is not easy when someone tells you what you believe in all your life might be false, and so it helps to read with an open mind. I have not finished reading yet but I am sure it will be faith challenging till the end.

Sometimes when reading books like this, I wonder if there are any truth in them. The books talks about the hidden secrets of the church, and the constant search for the truth. This book refers to the ancient scrolls found in the caves at Qumran, and the writer presents some very convincing storyline. If you are contemplating reading this book, then all I can suggest is to read it with an open mind :-)
