Fallen From Babel

by Tracy Higley

Overview

Peter Thornton doesn't believe in God.

Or rather, he doesn't believe in one God. "All paths are valid," he teaches his university students.

One evening he ventures to the archaeology museum and touches an artifact recently discovered from ancient Babylon.

At the touch he is transported three thousand years back in time to Old Testament Babylon.

Somehow the people know him as Rim-Sin, sorcerer and high priest to the gods of Babylon. The moment he arrives he is accused of murder-a murder Rim-Sin committed-and he must run for his life.

Against the backdrop of Nebuchadnezzar's court at its zenith, he and rival sorcerers vie with Beltshazzar, the Jewish upstart, for the king's favor. As Peter scrambles to get back to the twenty-first century he encounters a lovely young woman who has some disturbingly powerful arguments about the God of the Bible.

Peter won't get home until he has fallen from his pride. Fallen from his polytheism. Fallen from Babel.

About the Author

I had a dream that started at the age of eight. It was audacious, but I didn’t know it at the time because I was eight. I was going to write a novel. This dream was big enough in my heart even then that I vividly remember the exact moment I wrote the first sentence.

But early rejection letters and harsh criticism nearly convinced me the dream was not worth pursuing.

I've since had nearly twenty novels published. But it was almost none. It could have easily been none. Our dreams are so easily crushed.

So remember: You have a purpose in this world. Something you are uniquely qualified to express. Don’t let it go.

As for the rest of my life, along my publishing journey, I have also earned a Master’s Degree in Ancient History, raised four amazing kids, built a shipping and logistics company, and traveled to Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Italy, and Turkey, researching my books and falling into adventures. Life has been full and grand, and I still have lots of stories in my head, all trying to get out.

I'm currently passionate about landscaping around my 3+ acres of woodlands, reading good books (by a crackling fire in cold weather, outside near my pond & waterfall in warm weather), and traveling the world.
