Beloved Betrayer

A chance remark about the betrayal of Jesus brought the ambitious John Clyford, a small college professor, to challenge his students to join him in a search of an off site archeological dig in a remote area of Israel. The team of respected students and professionals, including his beautiful assistant, Jean Tanagra, were diligently on site when an accidental discovery of a crypt containing the remains of an encased golden scroll occurred. This incredible find, The Golden Scroll, unfolds through newfound technical language instrumentation, an apparent last testimonial of one Judas ben Simon ish Kerioth. His lifes' story and that of his family are disclosed therein. This suspenseful tale reveals, through his eyes, what really happened that caused Judas to be selected as the one and only person that could be the Betrayer. This selection took place before time began. Yes, even before Jesus was born, the spirit of Judas existed. The orchestration of human life with the final and critical events to the saving of man was, by the Grace of Alminghty God, planned and executed by Him. This riveting story may be a comfort to those who need it, gives an indelible approach to the life and demands made of this man, and every turn of events will keep the reader mesmerized. Even as Isaac, Moses and other blessed leaders did in the early days, Judas, the man from Kerioth, also chose to obey the spiritual commands of Jehovah!
