Prophetess (Nova Audio Books)

Summary: What does faith mean to you?
Review: A suspenseful novel, impossible to put down. But this is more than a story about an archeologist and her amazing discovery. What makes this book so unique is the profound message of the scrolls. For those who are open to spiritual possibility, Sabina's quest of the Righteous One is the real story here. Barbara Wood did a good job building personal discovery within a setting of material discovery.

Summary: A Page Turner
Review: I bought the hardback a day or two after it's release. I'd read several of her other books and couldn't wait for this one's release! I waited till just the right time and sat down and read the book from cover to cover in one sitting! I couldn't put it down! Suspenseful, exciting, well researched, well written and entertaining! Another Triumph from a true American Treasure: Barbara Wood.

Summary: A book to think about it.
Review: I can't tell you this book is out of reality, but I can't tell you that it is true, the story whether is real or not, (I refer to the history of the religion), is really amazing and it keeps you reading and turning page after page, I think that what is written in the scrolls is a little bit long, it could be shorter but is part of the book.
Who knows how many things that an archaeologist found keeps it just for the pleasure to have it?

Summary: It Haunts Me... ....In A Good Way
Review: I casually picked this book up from the library a number of years ago and was immediately interested in the story. I read it cover to cover and then returned it to the library. I had since forgotten the title and author of the book, but I was constantly reminded that I had greatly enjoyed reading it. More recently as I have further explored my religious (or non-religious as the case may be) faith, I have been more haunted by the memory of this long lost book I once read. Biting the bullet, I spent a lovely bit of time reading over the titles under the keywords "egypt" and "fiction" from the same library. I finally came across the right title and my mind truly cleared. This was the mystery book. Now that my search is over, I have my very own copy of this treasure so that I will not let it fade from me again.

Summary: A Real Keepsake
Review: I read the Prophetess and as the millennium marches on, this book holds a place on my bookshelf. I would say to anyone who can, send a copy to the President's wife to read. She'd love it.

Summary: Excellent religious, archeological fiction
Review: I?ve read a lot of Barbara Wood?s work, and like the title said, it?s the same plot, again and again. As a woman, it?s good to see books with a strong female caracter, but this is too much. I have noticed that in almost all of her books, the plot is as follows: a)some weird artefact shows up b)the heroine is in danger c)here arrives the knight in shinning armour d)they both end up winning the day (with some forbidden romance) e)the heroine had some family conection with the artifact The only thing that changes is the setting, which is well described.

Summary: The Prophetess is profound
Review: On the eve of the Millennium, Dr. Alexander unearths a cache ofscrolls which reveal a hidden religious history that governments,millionaires & the clergy will stop at nothing to suppress. From the beginning Barbara Wood has created a fast-paced, absorbing read, with some strange perspectives, her heroine a bit of an innocent & some rather nasty, unlikely foes. I found Barbara Wood's idea of a prophetess with that kind of information & pedigree, stimulating; her facts & fiction, fascinating. A super read! ...

Summary: This book was hard to put down, I urge everyone to read it.
Review: The plausability of the story could be questionable before it is read, but the Biblical history was well done. Also the futuristic computer technology worked well. I am now anxious for the paperback so I can afford a copy for every reader I know. This title was recommended to me by a high school boy,and I have discussed it with two additional generations that also enjoyed it. It dealt well with several tough topics(ie. celebate priests and church interventions of the secular world) but it was done tactfully

Summary: A Profound Read
Review: The Prophetess tackles a deep and fascinating subject. Although it is somewhat outdated now that we have already crossed the Y2K barrier, it still is a wonderful read. Archaeoligist Catherine Alexander makes a startling discovery of some ancient scrolls in Egypt which hold manifold secrets that can change the world. With the millennial Zeitgeist at full throttle, the scrolls hold a pertinent message about the world on the threshold of the 21st century. Many greedy parties are after these valuable scrolls, and Catherine is in a race against time and the people after her as she spans continents in search of the secret of the scrolls. The book has an exciting sequence of events and a powerful climax. A great book!

Summary: A great find!
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend and I wish I had read it sooner! I enjoyed all aspects of the book, the digs, the biblical referencing and the interpertations of the scrolls! I wasn't too keen on the computer jargon, but you didn't need to be a computer wiz to understand the jest of it. It was well written and obviously well researched! Being it was recommended to me, I therefore would recommend it anyone who enjoys a cat and mouse chase! (no pun intended) Also, just for the historical and bibllical aspect, if nothing else. I was intriqued by Catherine and her strong will to vindicate her mother and what her mother stood for. It's a fast read and a real page turner!
