Harrison Ford Playing This Role?

  Imagine a new Indiana Jones movie being made from a script by Dan Brown. That's what you have when you read Elisha's Bones, by Don Hoesel. This is a modern-day archeology expedition based upon the premise not of locating the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail, but the bones of the Old Testament prophet Elisha. That's right. In case you aren't up on biblical references, this story is located back in the OT in the book of 2 Kings, 13:21 to be specific. This is an incident where a man dies and as he is being buried the bones of the now deceased prophet Elisha are dug up. The dead man's body touches these bones and they are so filled with power that the man regains his life. Some say this may be an Old Testament allusion looking toward the spiritual resurrection that comes from the death and resurrection of Jesus. Don Hoesel simply uses this as a vehicle which allows him to spin an intriguing and adventurous yarn of crossing the globe in search of these mystical bones. Do they still exist? If so, are they yet imbued with the same power from on high that the OT claims they were back then? These are questions Don Hoesel deals with as his protagonist, Jack Hawthorne, an archeologist-turned-professor who has long since given up the adventurous aspect of "digging up ancient tombs", is hired to locate these most mystical of all legendary bones, which his new employer believes wholeheartedly yet exist.

Regardless of what you may or may not believe religiously, this story, Elisha's Bones, is woven at least as well as anything the author of The Da Vinci Code has given us in recent years. As I read through the pages of this intriguing story I envisioned Harrison Ford (from his younger days, of course) playing the role, since I prefer to watch movies unfold as I read. This one definitely had the expertise and professionalism within its magical covers (Yes, I know I read it on a Kindle and therefore it didn't have covers - bear with me, ok?) to enable me to easily see an entire feature-length motion picture as I assimilated the words Don Hoesel laid out for me.

Looking for a couple or three days worth of adventure? Look no further than Elisha's Bones, by Don Hoesel, alas, only at Amazon for now.
