Lost Ark Found is a modern-day parable: the tale of a grandfather and five teenagers who obtain the archeological find of the century. While they seek and find physical treasures in the mountains of Vancouver Island, their lives are affected much more powerfully by the truths they encounter there. Using a three-hundred-year-old handwritten journal as their guide (and with a little help from a mountain-man hermit) the explorers overcome obstacles, solve riddles, and conquer their own fears to finally arrive at a mountain-top aboriginal temple. Inside, behind an ancient door, they find the Ark of the Covenant. But there is a problem. Only those who have clean hands and a pure heart can approach the inner alcove behind the veil. One teenager among them proves to be the chosen one, with a pure heart, who is predestined to enter the holy of holies.
Rob Sargeant was a graduate of Bealart (London, Ontario, Canada) 1985-1987, as a Film Major and Photography Minor. He went on to study 16mm Film Production at the London International Film School (London, England) in 1987. In 1988 he was invited by a fellow film school student to work on a documentary film in Cairo, Egypt. He spent six months there, assisting on two productions and writing a speculative screenplay. While in Pasadena, California,1989-1990, he wrote and produced his first professional company promotional video for an international missions agency. It wasn't until 2004 that his first book was published, a kids, action/adventure, Lost Ark Found (2005). He was inspired to write it while deployed for six-months with the Canadian Armed Forces in the Golan Heights (Israel/Syria) working as a Peace Keeper. Initially, he read it to his preteen kids over long distance phone calls to entertain them while he was away. His second book, A Silent Violence, was published in 2008. Much of this, as well, he wrote while he was on tours with the Canadian Armed Forces. His third book, a novella, Dance With Me, was released as an e-book in March 2011.
