All hands on deck for the reading of Robert Cornuke's, THE LOST SHIPWRECK OF PAUL, a seaworthy tale of Biblical proportions!
.
This book should appeal to you if: A) You are a crusty old, armchair sea dog. B) A Christian interested in Biblical archaeology. Or, C) Simply a reader looking for a good story. But you will especially love the book if you happen to be all three: A crusty old, Christian armchair sea dog looking for a good story related to Biblical archaeology. Now we're talkin'!
.
This latest installment in Robert Cornuke's series of adventures that take him in search of evidence to support the Bible's historicity, sets sail for the island of Malta, seeking the ancient lead anchors from the shipwreck of Saint Paul.
.
Using the words of Luke recorded in the 27th chapter of Acts as his first mate, Cornuke calculates where these long lost lead treasures are apt to be found. It turns out that the objects of our hero's quest had already been located and raised from the sea floor by Maltese divers in the late 1960s and early 1970s. (Although the island natives had no inkling of the tremendous importance of their discoveries since the traditional site of Paul's wreck is a cove considerably further North.) Unfortunately, this fact tends to let the wind out of the sails in Cap'n Bob's adventure just a little bit.
.
Nevertheless, it's a slightly padded, but worthwhile story that proves beyond all reasonable doubt that these recovered artifacts, which meet all of the demanding criteria, are indeed remnants of Saint Paul's misadventure at sea. And once again we come face to face with the prospect that, despite the hysterical ranting to the contrary by society's willfully ignorant atheistic and unthinking agnostic bilge rats, the Bible is a reliable historical document! So there! Let 'em stick this in their dinghy and smoke it!
.
This title is certainly superior to Cornuke's disappointing In Search Of The Lost Mountains Of Noah, but not nearly as suspenseful as his most important book, IN SEARCH OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD: The Discovery Of The Real Mount Sinai. But all in all, THE LOST SHIPWRECK OF PAUL manages to stay afloat while both enlightening and entertaining. It's a quick read, making it an ideal companion on a plane flight or for a weekend at the beach. Although I doubt that I would pack it along on a pleasure cruise, not even on a mere three-hour tour, if you catch my "drift."
