Novelist Roger D. Grubbs has released “In Search of Paradise”

Feb. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- “In Search of Paradise” is the first of many novels in the Dr. Andrew Rogers’ Adventure Series.  The story takes hold of the reader from the beginning and never lets go.  Roger has made a promise to his followers, and this action-packed novel delivers.  A combination of strong characters and riveting plots drive the story from start to finish.  When you are finished reading “In Search of Paradise”, you will surely want more, and that is exactly what you get.  This journey begins in a location believed to hold the secrets of the beginning of time, the Garden of Eden.  

The Garden of Eden is one of the most sought after locations in the world.  According to Genesis, this Garden was created during the first six days of the creation of the earth.  In it was what many people refer to as Paradise.  Why?  Because it had everything.  

Two trees in the middle of the garden had enormous powers.  The fruit of one, the Tree of Life, would allow a human to live forever.  The fruit of the other, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, was forbidden.  Eating of that fruit brought death into the world.  And, to keep man from eating of the Tree of Life after that sin, he was expelled from the garden.  

The entrance was then guarded by cherubims with a flaming sword.  Those angelic creatures, while innocent in appearance, could become vicious if necessary in order to perform their duty of protecting the Tree of Life.  Once expelled from the Garden of Eden, man has never returned.

Just where is the physical location of the Garden of Eden?  There is a lot of evidence to support its location being near Iraq – more specifically the southern border near Kuwait.  The location of the four rivers mentioned in Genesis 2:10-14 points to a specific spot.  

The river running out of the Garden of Eden broke off into four different rivers.  The first is Pison where there is gold and precious stones.  The second is Gihon in the land of Ethiopia.  The third is Hiddekel which is eastward of Assyria, and the fourth is the Euphrates.  

Two of these rivers can be easily located while one is thought to be an underground dry riverbed.  That river is the Pison where gold and precious stones can be found.  The characters of “In Search of Paradise” find this river.  Buried two miles below the surface of the ground lay gold, precious stones, and a maze of caves filled with dark eyes watching their every move.  

Struggling to find Paradise, three friends embark on a miraculous journey.  One member of the trio, Henry Shepherd, is missing.  His fiancée, Dr. Kathleen McGregor, solicits the legendary Dr. Andrew Rogers to help her find their mutual friend.  While meeting for the first time, these two struggle to remain faithful to Henry while enduring the hardships caused by their journey through the Middle East.

Thought to be somewhere between Iraq and Kuwait, The Garden of Eden is believed to contain Paradise.  Once that spot is located, they are certain Henry will be there.

But, insurmountable obstacles lay in the way.  Some of those impasses are from this earth, others are not.  You will be moved with compassion as the power of friendship leads to acts of kindness, faithfulness, determination, and finally the ultimate of all sacrifices.
