This imaginative mix of detective tale and Bible story begins with the narratives of ten Bible 'mysteries' followed by investigative questions to solve the puzzle and find the scripture's truth of each story. You get to follow the great detective's meticulous mind and follow him through the Bible, familiarising yourself with the Bible's environment and personalities as you go.
'The Needles Eye' can be read as an investigative novel or as a collection of individual Bible based detective stories. This a book that with something for readers from a very wide background - those who begin with Bible, those who love Sherlock Holmes and those who just love detective stories.
The author captures the Victorian atmosphere of the original novels and leads you deeper into the world of the Bible with both a good yarn and an easy to follow Bible study. As Holmes says to Watson in the first of Conan Doyle's original stories: "It is a capital mistake to theorise before you have all the evidence. It biases judgement."
This inventive and entertaining way to lead enquiring minds and lovers of a good detective story into the Bible helps you find the evidence, ask the right questions and draw your own conclusions to solve the Bible's biggest mysteries with a meaning for your life in the often baffling world of life today.

About The Author
Embark on a journey through the Old and New Testament with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson as they explore exotic and spice-laden places in search of clues.
The detective and the doctor travel back in time with the help of a Moriarty-designed time machine to investigate ten Bible destinations, unlocking clues to ten Bible mysteries. The most fascinating crime cases are those that are already solved, those that have been investigated by the police and brought to a swift, satisfying, and almost inevitable conclusion. So it is with Bible stories which the reader may consider familiar and unremarkable. But under close scrutiny these stories give up their hidden clues, their long kept secrets. Like a jewel newly polished, they sparkle and shine with a fresh, introspective light.
While travelling back in time to witness certain scenes, Holmes and Watson unravel ten different Biblical mysteries, including the following:
? Why did Ahithophel hang himself?
? Is Zechariah the son of Berekiah or Jehoiada in Matthew 23?
? Why did David take five stones against Goliath?
? Why did Jesus delay coming to Lazarus in John 11?
