In this novel, the narrator greets nay, welcomes readers into a world of the absurd, with boundaries of neither space nor time. Barely do we arrive at the Crusades' bloodbath when a zeppelin circles about Renaissance Florence's Arno, and before we can catch our breath, Cologne is reduced to rubble through Allied bombardment. Next we find ourselves in fin-de-siecle Vienna sharing an espresso with Freud. According to the narrator's father, appropriately unnamed and unnameable, historical time is a flow of events endlessly repeating themselves, where what is true one moment is false the next, what once beautiful now hideous. Everything is both earthly serious and airy as life itself. Put another way, true survival consists in this: trust nothing and no one, yet love everything and everyone. This the narrator's father achieves to perfection. He is the perpetual student unbound by place and time, who learned the art of love from Sappho, war from Napoleon ("call me Boni") and climbed the steep scaffold with a refreshing drink for the hard-working Michelangelo. In his many incarnations (learned from Merlin no doubt), father's ongoing struggle is on behalf of the downtrodden and against the obscenely powerful. The history of the world itself is too short to fully contain such an individual, just as it was too short to enfold Cervantes' great Don.

Ellie Being a single mom is the most challenging, yet rewarding job I've ever had. Especially in a small town, where everyone knows your story, or at least their version of it. They say it takes a village, and they're right. I've been lucky to have close friends to help me raise my son, Brody. One particular friend stands out above the rest. TD stepped up in a big way, teaching my son everything a father should. That's why his friendship means so much to me. Both Brody and I rely on his friendship. Any feelings I have for my sexy friend must stay buried. It's safer that way. Turns out, it's much harder to do when he decides he's done being just my friend. He wants more. TD There's nothing worse than being in lust with one of your friends. For years, I've been fighting my attraction to Ellie and keeping it a secret. I thought I was doing what was best for all of us. Between working as the local police officer and coaching high school football, I'm left with very little downtime, but what I do have is spent with Ellie and her son. When I find out the seventeen-year-old boy might be working to get this football coach and his mom together, all bets are off. With Brody on my side, I'm willing to take the chance and blur the lines between friends and lovers. I have to make her see we can have it all. Despite her reservations, I'll show her love is worth the risk.

During the fourth in this series of Theophilus's first-century quest to interview eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus before it is too late, he reaches Judea, regarded by many as the Holy Land. This land beckons over the mystic mirror of the Sea of Galilee, known in the era of 100 AD as Kinnereth, "Harmony." On his peregrinations around this sea, Theophilus's expectations run high. There is Magdala, supposedly the home of Mary Magdalene, and Capernaum, famous as the site of more Jesus miracles than anywhere else, and Tiberias, the last town controlled by Jews anywhere in their recently devastated Holy Land, and therefore sure to be the repository of much Christian lore. And of course, there awaits Nazareth -- unless the warnings of a certain mysterious angel prove true. Theophilus follows in the footsteps of Jesus through the frightful Desert of the Temptation, along the awesome Dead Sea, to the site of the Passion which will assuredly be the most revelatory site of all: the most sacred terrain in all the world, Jerusalem. A discussion guide is included to help book clubs and personal reflection. Books in the series: Mysterium I RomeMysterium II GreeceMysterium III AsiaMysterium IV JudeaMysterium V Egypt and Beyond
