[...] Fr. Sean O'Derry, the only other secret-sharer, vehemently disagrees, warning Lute that the second revelation will explode the faith of a billion Christians worldwide. Lute steals the 2000-year-old parchments and flees Jerusalem for America [...]. Sean's security agents, close behind, are soon replaced by Vatican officials and finally CIA agents.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I haven't yet read the book, but I've now bought it (Kindle edition is $3, paper edition $12.50). My brother has read it; in his review, he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As a heterosexual and not very religious person, I orginally didn't think this book would be my cup of tea. But as a person who devours thrillers and especially likes thought-provoking and original thrillers, I realized quickly what an extraordinary debut novel this is. It was a page-turner in the most literal sense; I was on an airplane when I should have been sleeping but I simply could not stop turning the pages and barely noticed when we landed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For more about the book, see Paul's <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carpekairos.com\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Uncle Paul&#8217;s novel <cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kairos-Paul-Hartman\/dp\/0615495095\/\"\">The Kairos<\/a><\/cite> is now available from Amazon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,23,59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-queer","category-religion"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13859\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
