About the Author

Why did someone steal a $92,000 chalice from the Forest Center Church? And who was the stranger who died on the running track the same night as the theft? Six slightly rebellious teenagers help to solve these mysteries as they develop team tactics and tactical reasoning. At the age of 16, they learn to balance open-mindedness and tolerance of other viewpoints with discipline and faithfulness. They also discover that the Bible is an exciting series of events complete with challenging mysteries and revelations. Their indifference to God and eternity is replaced by curiosity and willingness to learn more. However, chaos results when 18 men, women, and teenagers challenge each other inside the usually quiet Forest Nooke restaurant. The intense two-minute physical confrontation teaches each of the participants specific lessons about drugs, guns, values gone wrong, and not facing up to responsibilities and reality. Action-packed suspense, intrigue, fun, facts, morality, and God love; it’s all here within reach of the Sunday School Gang. Chapters include discussion questions that may be addressed by an individual reader or in a family atmosphere.
