Nicole Berman is an archaeologist on the brink of a world-changing discovery. During her first dig in Jordan, she believes she has found concrete evidence of a biblical patriarch that could change history books forever. But someone doesn't want the truth revealed. While urgently trying to connect pieces of an ancient puzzle, a dangerous enemy is out to stop her. "From a criminal investigation in Manhattan to the birth of Abram in ancient Ur, Jerry Jenkins weaves together a tale of drama and suspense that will draw you into the lives of two families separated by 4,000 years of history yet sharing remarkably similar struggles of faith. Dead Sea Rising combines the thrill of a whodunit with the moral and political intrigue of the ancient, and modern, Middle East. But be prepared. Once you begin, you won't be able to stop until you reach the final page!" - DR. CHARLIE DYER, PROFESSOR-AT-LARGE OF BIBLE, AND HOST OF THE LAND AND THE BOOK RADIO PROGRAM "If you love history-especially biblical history-this is a fun and fascinating read!" -JONI EARECKSON TADA, JONI AND FRIENDS INTERNATIONAL DISABILITY CENTER "Jerry Jenkins' dialogue is equal to the best of Nelson DeMille, his storylines equal to the best of John Grisham. And now Dead Sea Rising . . . this book may be Jerry's best." -ANDY ANDREWS, NEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TRAVELER'S GIFT AND THE NOTICER "Jumping back and forth in time at a breakneck pace, Dead Sea Rising is a thriller as only Jerry B. Jenkins can tell it. Biblical history combines with gripping contemporary mystery. Just be aware-you'll be hooked." -JAMES SCOTT BELL, INTERNATIONAL THRILLER WRITERS AWARD WINNER

Author Jerry Jenkins' DEAD SEA RISING is a compelling and suspenseful novel. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and shifted between three different time periods and countries. Each time period introduced characters that captured my interest.
Many novels that I read are overflowing with too many paragraphs devoted to the description of characters or scenery. When this happens, I become distracted from the action of the plot and will essentially skip these paragraphs. However, Jerry Jenkins' writing style is clear and concise which inspired me to read every word.
Furthermore, there were three particular reasons why I liked this novel. The first reason was the plot. It was a believable mystery and it was fun to be able to "transfer" myself into the main character, archaeologist Nicole Berman's life. I was also drawn into the other characters as well and found myself transported to Mesopotamia and Vietnam while reading those chapters. The second reason was the credibility of the characters. Each character was well-defined and researched. Because of this, the storyline showed a solid, logical progression as each character developed.
The third reason I liked this book was because I could not put the book down. Jerry Jenkins succeeded in capturing my attention from page one and my interest kept growing to the end.
I highly recommend reading DEAD SEA RISING. Enjoy!
