Title: Face of God
Author: Bill Meyers
Genre: Fiction/Suspense

Daniel Lawson is a Sr. Pastor of a large church. While taking a group of people from church on a tour of the middle east, his wife is murdered. His faith in God begins to immediately crumble, it seems his foundation has shifted a bit. Just before his wife is killed, a Turkish merchant passes along a stone to her. The stone stays in Daniels possession for several weeks before he realizes that this could actually be a stone off of Aarons ephod mentioned in the Biblical book of Exodus. Daniel and his estranged son embark on a mission to find the other 11 stones as well as the Ummin and Thummin. He is told that if he can find these stones, it will be possible to actually hear the voice of God.

Ibrahim el-Magd is a terrorist in the Middle East. He too knows of the stones. He believes that if he can retrieve all 12 stones, along with the Ummin and Thummin, he will be able to audibly hear the voice of Allah and have advance knowledge of outcome of various wars. His mission is to find these stones and conclude a deadly plot that will kill millions of people all over the world.

Millions of lives hang in the balance as Daniel, his son, and a few friends they meet along the way, race to find these stones. Ibrahim will stop at nothing to gain possession of the stones. The opposing faiths collide in an unforgettable showdown.

Bill Meyers is a wonderful writer. His stories offer a depth that take you beyond most fiction and leaves the reader with something to think about. If you enjoy the writing of Ted Dekker, you will most likely enjoy Bill Meyers. I've added a link to his website on the left side of this blog.
