Product Description

Lost Ark Found is a modern day parable: the tale of a grandfather and five teenagers who make 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, hand written journal as their guide, (and a little help from a mountain man hermit) the explorers overcome obstacles, solve riddles, and conquer their own fears to finally arrive at 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, predestined to enter the holy of holies.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a perfect book to read to your children, March 10, 2005

By	TS, Cairo - See all my reviews

"Rob Sargeant has created a great read for the teen in your life. When I started reading his book, "Lost Ark Found" I felt like I was being compelled back into my younger years of life. The years when I wanted to explore the unknown.

Rob has developed a very unique way to take a few friends, a grandfather, and a mountain man, combine their ingenuity, and develope the experience of their lives, spiritually! An adventure story which has a very profound way of bringing into the life of several young men the righteousness of God. Not so much as using the scriptures in the writing of the book, but in the actions of the characters.

I believe this book would make a great gift in any season. With or without a reason to buy the book as a gift, you will enjoy the read. It is a perfect book to read to your children. I was able to read it's 70 pages within a 2-3 hour span so this takes away the keeping my interest part of the book.
Very well written, Rob!"

4.0 out of 5 stars "Lost Ark Found: A powerful adventure story., March 10, 2005

"Lost Ark Found: A powerful adventure story.
Take a grandfather, five teenage boys, a 300 year old journal, place them in the wilds of the stunning Vancouver island mountains and you have a powerful adventure story. Smell the forest, look into the eagle's eyes, meet the mountain man. Experience the vivid exhilaration and fear that climbing a mountain brings.

You're almost there with the characters as they reach the top, eager to get to the treasure, not realizing that the biggest treasure of all lies waiting for them.

This well written work carries a profound message for all of us. It is sure to stir the hearts of many, planting seeds of faith in even the hardest heart. It's wonderful material for a film. Are you listening, Mr Spielberg?

All teens should read this great modern day story. Actually, make that everyone between the ages of 12-99.
