Book Description
Armed with their courage, their determination, their wits and a Bible, Robert Cornuke and Larry Williams embarked on a journey to confirm the Bible as historically accurate. In the process they discovered not only their goal but a faith strengthened by the evidence. "When I stood on those scorched rocks, my life was changed at that moment," Cornuke would later recall. Sneaking across borders, crawling into forbidden military installations, and using night vision goggles to avoid being detected, these men pursued their mission. In Search of the Mountain of God tells the amazing story of the discovery of what they and others are convinced is the authentic location of the biblical Mt. Sinai. Their evidence and passion will make a believer out of you.

In Search of the Mountain of God: The Discovery of the Real MT. Sinai SYNOPSIS
With Bible in hand, Cornuke, a freelance adventurer who has appeared on TV programs such as "Ancient Secrets of the Bible," crisscrossed the Near East searching for the definitive site of Mt. Sinai, where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments from God. He claims to have discovered the actual location where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, the altar of the golden calf, and the Rock of Horeb, struck by Moses to give water to his people, and, of course, the location of the real Mt. Sinai. Most of his findings are based upon scriptural evidence that many scholars are unwilling to admit can be called fact, such as the controversy as to whether the Israelites actually crossed the Red Sea or the Reed Sea. Halbrook is the editorial manager for the Promise Keepers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
