“A map, written in code in the Gospel of Matthew, reveals a truth
so explosive it could rock the foundations of Christianity… or lead to it’s rebirth.” When I read this quote on the sleeve of the book, David Murrow (the author) had my attention. I assumed that this novel would read like another chapter in The Da Vinci Code series… but I was in for a non-fictional surprise! The story begins as a fortunate but daring, global adventure and ultimately climaxes into solid, real-life advice for men who consider themselves… or desire to be followers of Christ.
I sat down to read a chapter and ended up devouring the whole book over the course of three days… and became a David Murrow fan in the process. Loaded with great examples from Scripture and practical application for today, I found myself scribbling notes in the margins and underlining key texts for further reference in my future studies.
Rather than give away the plot, it should be sufficient to note that there are three themes that play out in the lives of men all through the Bible. I found myself thinking through personal choices that I have made in the past, processing the present, and looking forward to the prospect of the future as a growing and imperfect man after God’s own heart.
Men, I highly recommend this book. Be ready for a treasure quest that will yield the keys to becoming a man of Biblical proportions.
