CAP'N BOB IS LED TO THE SEA TO SEE THE LEAD.,
By STEPHEN T. McCARTHY (a Mensa-donkey in Phoenix, Airheadzona.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lost Shipwreck of Paul (Hardcover)
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 Acts, chapter 27, 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to the contrary by society's willfully ignorant atheistic and unthinking agnostic bilge rats, the Bible is a reliable historical document!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, if you catch my "drift."

Very hard to put down!,
By
This review is from: The Lost Shipwreck of Paul (Hardcover)
A fascinating recreation of Cornuke's detective work on Malta. He writes with a light touch. You see Cornuke interacting with the evidence as it emerges, and you are confident that Cornuke will not oversell his case. Indeed, the book ends with an open-ended sense that further facts can still come to light.
I also enjoyed his recreation of conversations with the Maltese divers. You see Cornuke's respect for this hardy and self-reliant group of explorers ... and are amazed that he can secure their cooperation. I agree with another reviewer that the 9/11 part of the book seems like a diversion. No doubt it was important to Cornuke, but it doesn't seem relevant to the story. Still, I give the book an enthusiastic 5 stars! I can't imagine anyone interested in the Bible or archaeology who wouldn't enjoy it!

Anchors, Maltese divers, ...and oh yeah.. Paul,
By
This review is from: The Lost Shipwreck of Paul (Hardcover)
The worst thing about Cornuke's books...is that they have to end. I'm not sure if he's got the same Ghost writer on this one, but I've enjoyed all 3 of the books I've bought from the 4 Cornuke has produced. This book is an adventure by proxy of the early days of diving...and the discoveries made by those lucky enough...and daring enough to be there. The events of the book touch upon Sept. 11, 2001. I'm not sure I followed Cornuke's attempt to make the discovery somehow spiritually relevant to today. It's a cool discovery, but spiritually significant? Guess you'd have to be there. Regardless of how I felt though, I do highly recommend the book. Incredible adventure and some apologetics mixed in.
