The Searchers by Joseph Loconte Book Review!

This is part of the book description "Historian Joseph Loconte unlocks the meaning of their exchange, set in the chaotic days following the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story.Sooner or later, we will find ourselves among the searchers"

When I saw this, I immediately thought the the story would be set in biblical times and would consist of more information, other then what Christians know from the Bible. We know how Jesus walked with them and we know that Jesus had risen. However this book clearly uses todays stories (Harry Potter for example), to show that we are all on a path with Jesus. Whether we know it or not. We are all searching for something.

This book is a 5 star in the regard of showing us how we are all like the 2 men on the road to Emmaus.

I did however think that the book had alot of information, about alot of different things, that all related to the core theme of the book. It was easy to follow and anyone of any religion can easily follow the message. Even if they do not believe in the same beliefs as the 2 men on the road to Emmaus.

As a Christian I feel as though this must have been such a horrible time of grieving. Jesus was dead. Yet these 2 men saw him and walked with him. This renewed their hope for a brighter future. The most important thing that I could say that I got out of this book is exactly that.Even when times seem most depressing, there is always hope for a better future.
