In "The Searchers: A Quest For Faith In A Valley Of Doubt", Joseph Loconte takes a portion of Scripture, "The Road To Emmaus", taken from Luke chapter 24 and relates it to portions of history, philosophy, modern day culture and noted personalities and shows the similarities. He breaks the Biblical account up into an introduction and eight chapters and expounds on each portion.
I enjoyed reading the book very much. It was an easy read, just 205 pages including a bibliography and the author made the Biblical account interesting in a way that would appeal to believers and non-believers alike by connecting modern day events to the story. I learned about connections between some commonly known events and the Emmaus story that I never would have thought about on my own. The book is quite an eye-opener and flows nicely. I found it difficult to put down. I highly recommend it.
I received this book from the Thomas Nelson Publishers Booksneeze program in exchange for my honest review. The words are my own
