A tangled web of adventure, Lost Treasure
is an exciting read.
The author, Sharon Foster, leads the
imagination through a journey traveled by a pastor running from God.
Sharon Foster's novel specifically speaks to every Christian on one or
more levels. She draws a vividly clear image of other countries customs
and ways of life.
After reading Lost Treasure and the
suffering and living conditions of others, makes on realize how lucky
we are as American Christians.
Sharon Foster opened up the door of
realization to the importance of missionary and evangelical work
without the reader realizing it.
The lost Treasure also focuses on the most
important part of Christian life...listening to God. Her hero, Taran,
sets life long examples for all of us to live by. He is the true
identity of a wandering Christian finally submitting to God's
leadership and guidance.
Lost Treasure reaffirms Biblical scripture
that should be applied in every aspect of our lives. It tells the story
of how God spoke to one man and even though it may not make sense to
mortal man, God provided the way every time that he listened.
Lost Treasure is a modern day parable that
speaks to of moral and spiritual examples for our Christian journey in
winning souls for Christ.
All though I greatly enjoyed the book, Lost
Treasure , at times I felt that the author could have added a few more
vivid details to some of the events to make the story more elaborate.
The geographical locations in the book gave her the opportunity to
strongly reinforce the splendor of the land.
the feel of the land was a modern day
Arabian Knights type tale. I felt that a little more grandeur could
have been written into the story.
All in all, I did enjoy the book and feel
like other Christians as well will enjoy it. Lost Treasure sparks the
imagination while at the same time teaches a spiritual lesson.
I strongly feel that Sharon Foster done a
good job of writing a unique Christian book with good intrigue and
moral fiber. I hope to see more of her works in the future.
