   This is quite a unique book. The tale is parceled out, with different portions of the characters' lives lining up with a unique perspective of different Bible stories. Although the author takes some liberties, the narrative plays out in such a way that it really could have happened. I really appreciated the mix of the historical setting, with the updated dialogue. Zarus, the protagonist, becomes a fully developed character, someone you start to care about and root for early on in the story. As yo This is quite a unique book. The tale is parceled out, with different portions of the characters' lives lining up with a unique perspective of different Bible stories. Although the author takes some liberties, the narrative plays out in such a way that it really could have happened. I really appreciated the mix of the historical setting, with the updated dialogue. Zarus, the protagonist, becomes a fully developed character, someone you start to care about and root for early on in the story. As you are introduced to various people in his life, the story twists and turns in ways you don't expect. I enjoyed ruffling back through the pages, picking up on hints of various occurrences that happen, or backbones of certain characters. The adventures aren't limited to Zarus. Several of his friends and family members go on their own journeys, still showing and learning the biblical truths presented throughout Zarus' life. I always enjoy reading historical fiction books, in part because of the interesting little tidbits I pick up along the way. This time, mining in that time period forms a large part of the story. The ways they manipulated the technology of the time is fascinating. This book isn't simply historical fiction - it has romance and action blended in with the history, and each part of Zarus' journey is backed up by scripture. The story reminded me somewhat of Lawrence of Arabia - that peculiar hold that a story can have on you, that particular mix of genres, and the epic scope of the story being told. I highly recommend this book - it was well researched, has fascinating characters, and an engaging story. I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
