A Skeleton in God's Closet (Abridged) Audiobook

" I've read this book 2x. Once for fun and then a few years later for book club. I don't think it held up as well the 2nd time around. Its certainly as entertaining as "The DaVinci Code" with the added bonus that it doesn't take itself nearly as seriously. I think it was a good try at an interesting "What-if?" plot idea: "What would happen to the world if Jesus' bones were found?" "

" I couldn't wait to read this book. It sounded so exciting. But to my surprise, it was dull and boring. I couldn't wait to put it down and move on to something better. "

" A theme somewhat similar to the Da Vinci Code. Archeologists make a startling discovery with world that destroy Christianity and reshape 2,000 years of history. Suspense, some romance, action, thought-provoking, and a clever title. "

" It's been a long time since Cheryl gave me this book to read, but I remember it held my interest to the end. It was a good read. Had me thinking, "What if?" "

" Excellent book. It makes you think how you would respond if it could be proven that the body of Jesus was found beyond a shadow of a doubt. "

" A wonderfully written "What if...?" that makes people really think about their faith. This is the book that made me want to read everything else Dr. Meier has written (and I think I have). "

" A quick read. Really didn't flow all that well and parts seemed to be missing. It did tie all together at the end though. "

" Intriguing piece of fiction that definitely kept me turning pages. Set in modern day Israel, an archeological dig uncovers a history shattering, faith-shaking relic that turns the plot into a mystery novel...a theological thriller. "

" A novel about a find on an archaeological dig that appears to be the skeleton of Jesus. The book was okay, but it did drag for a bit. "

" thought it was thought provoking and written very well. held my attention and made me not want to put it down. "

" Thrilling archaeological mystery by Paul Maier. One of the best Christian thrillers I've ever read. Be sure and read the next one "More Than a Skeleton" "

" was an interesting concept but at times a little slow. "

" Interesting premise, well told story. "

" Reminded me Survivor meets Ten Little Indians. "

" I enjoyed the story line, but found the writing to be somewhat tedious. "

" Interesting premise with "Indiana Jones" elements -- I would've liked reading this a LOT more if the dialogue wasn't so trite and often, sadly, cheesy. A fun read nonetheless with some thought-provoking questions thrown in for good measure. "

" This was a good story. It's a novel, but it explores the possible repercussions on the world if Christianity were proved to be a hoax. I learned a lot about religion and archaeology by reading it (which are two things I know very little about). "

" It took me a very long time to get into the book, but once I got towards the end and events were moving quickly I think that I was reading so fast that I may have missed some important details! Over all a good book. "

" Book was kind of drawn out. Otherwise pretty good. By the time I got to the final chapters I was waiting for the story to be over. "

" Archaeologists find the bones of Jesus, thus disproving His resurrection and ascension. If word gets out, all of Christendom will be thrown into turmoil... Fantastic story. It kept me on the edge of my chair...well no, not really, but it certainly kept me reading well into the night. "

" I read this prior to seminary and it had me wondering what difference bodily resurrection makes. It's surprisingly well-written considering it's by a noted seminary professor. "

" It was a little slow in spots, buy still good enough to keep my attention. "

" I enjoyed the story line, but found the writing to be somewhat tedious. "

" Jon is on a archeological dig for his sabbatical. They make a discovery that is stunning. If real, it can destroy the faith of millions. If a hoax, then how or why? An enjoyable story set in Israel steeped with history, politics and social issues. "

" It's been a long time since Cheryl gave me this book to read, but I remember it held my interest to the end. It was a good read. Had me thinking, "What if?" "

" Not as good as her series' books. "

" This book really pushed me to examine my own faith and decide if I really believe or if it's just that I've been told such things and adopted the ideas because it was just easier.... "

" Not bad, but not great either. I appreciated the authentic archaeology over Dan Brown's semi-history. But, the story drags at points that make me appreciate Brown's speedy tale telling. "

" Well written and good under story. Interesting facts about history and how things can be faked, Good read. I keep it in my bookcase as a backup when I dont have a new book. "

" Paul Maier can do good fiction, who knew? I love his non-fictional translations and commentaries. This fiction kept me turning the pages and you don't have to be a biblical scholar to know what he's talking about. It's a good one on faith when the odds are stacked against you. "

" Immensely enjoyable, if tainted with a tiny bit of cheese. "

" Book was interesting and the archaeology technology amazing, but I thought a lot of the wording was dated and some of the charactarization hard to swallow. Very topical subject matter, with the kind of world we are living in today. "

" This is a fascinating look at how one man sees the world, if Jesus was never resurrected in the flesh. It would be discouraging to read, if you did not read it all the way through. A very good book, that makes you think, but comes back to the Truth by the end. "
