Review of Seeking the Light of Justice
[Following is a volunteer review of "Seeking the Light of Justice" by Dr. Barry Nadel.]
Seeking the Light of Justice by Dr. Barry Nadel is an eye opener into the archeological world of scientists. Set between two countries of Israel and Spain, the author narrates vividly about the life of the protagonist, professor Yoshua Rosenberg and his team. The professor is on a journey of research as he had always done, but this particular one that he takes up, tests his faith and fills him with questions that he cannot easily answer. As the people close to him have sworn secrecy to enable him fulfil the prophecy, they have to fight hard within themselves to be discreet. By excavating an old church in Israel, Professor Rosenberg and his team go down a dark emotional past that happened to their people, the Jews, who refused to convert to Catholicism. The unravelling of a seemingly forgotten and disturbing past puts him in collision with the Catholic Church and the Spanish government which labels him and his colleagues as terrorists and has them incarcerated. As one of his team members who successfully escaped Spain tries to save him and most importantly the girl he loves from prison, a whole team of Jews comes together to help them escape. As events unfold, the whole world is ganging up against Spain and the Catholic church, forcing them to uphold human rights for its prisoners. Will they relent?
The book has various aspects that I enjoyed reading such as the joys of a family, love, death, the spirit of teamwork, networking, technical skills and spirituality. The author captures and retains one’s imagination through precise description of events that you can actually place yourself at the scene as an observer. You get excited at the ingenuity of the author at coming up with events that you as a seasoned reader couldn’t possibly foresee. The ending of the book leaves a suspense that makes the reader want to grab the second part of the book to find out what happened to the scientists-you yearn to know how they fulfilled the prophecy. This should be the goal of every writer, to write to impress their readers.
The book has enough mistakes that ought to be looked over by the author and the editors, ranging from misplaced quotation marks, spelling mistakes, omissions among others. As you begin to read it, it is a slow read that requires a patient reader to keep at it in order to enjoy the momentum of what lies ahead.
I would give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars as it is very informative as much as it is a work of fiction. It reflects what happens in our countries today and it opens a window for us to have a glimpse of what really happens in places like the laboratories, the excavations sites, government offices, prisons, universities among other areas. It is a story that kept me reading to a point I wanted to know what happened next and what else could I learn.
This book is recommended to the reader with a curious mind. It will fuel the fire of a historian, a creative, a researcher and an archeologist. It will call out the people in places of authority for their bureaucracies. This book will strengthen the faith of readers in distress and be enjoyed by spiritual readers but mostly but above all, it will entertain readers who are open minded and ready to learn something new.
