Water and Gold

By George Despodov

Four modern-day children find themselves at the center of a dramatic biblical mystery-where the fate of an ancient civilization depends on their actions and decisions.

Jonathan, Mariam, Sophia, and Nick are ordinary children until several inexplicable events thrust them 2,800 years back in time. Immersed in the exotic atmosphere of the ancient world, the friends discover that tensions are high and God's judgment upon the city's inhabitants is approaching. To return home, they must first help a fleeing prophet and convince an empire steeped in violence to open its heart to repentance-all while evading palace guards who suspect them of being spies.

Will four children, armed only with faith, friendship, and a few twenty-first century ideas, be enough to trigger one of the greatest transformations in history-and find their way back to the present before God's judgment falls?

Perfect reading for ages 9 and up who enjoy time-travel adventures, biblical fiction, and stories proving that courage, faith, and friendship can change the world.
