The mantra of the New Age Religion says all men are gods. It is the same lie the Serpent told Eve in the Garden of Eden. “Eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and you shall be as gods,” he said.   A time travel experiment opens a window on the events of Easter week and an opportunity for the New Age scoffers to prove Christianity is a hoax. Modern technology sends a team of five time travelers back to the trial, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ. Did Jesus die on the cross and did he arise from the grave? Is the central tenet of Christianity true or was His body stolen by His disciples to perpetuate the biggest hoax in history?   Would the Time Travelers observations destroy the faith of millions and swell the ranks of New Age Religions? The witnesses return to tell the truth and breathe new life into an age old story and bring the message to a weary world that Christ’s return to Earth is imminent.

Ford''s eloquently casual prosepresents Mary as a very young and vulnerable girl who received the most wonderfulnews in history. Being Mary, an unmarried, pregnant teenaged girl, could havebeen a death sentence during that time of Levitical law. In her faith and humility,with a spirit of praise, Mary chose to let go and let God.
