In 1986, when drought brought the level of the Sea of Galilee unusually low, the two brothers Moshe and Yuval Lufan unearthed the timber frame of an ancient fishing boat. Archaeologist Kurt Raveh was to call the two-thousand-year-old boat of the very type Jesus used to sail the Galilee the most important discovery of the twentieth century. Recovery and preservation of the waterlogged "Jesus boat" was a unique challenge, as no other wooden object had ever survived two millennia in sweet water. Here is the emotional, suspenseful and inspiring story of the boat and those who dedicated fourteen years of their lives to making it available for all the world to see.

A Texas oilman. A brilliant female archaeologist. An unknown world underneath the Vatican. In 1939, a team of workers beneath the Vatican unearthed an early Christian grave. This surprising discovery launched a secret quest that would last decades — a quest to discover the long-lost burial place of the Apostle Peter. From earliest times, Christian tradition held that Peter — a lowly fisherman from Galilee, whom Christ made leader of his Church — was executed in Rome by Emperor Nero and buried on Vatican Hill. But his tomb had been lost to history. Now, funded anonymously by a wealthy American, a small army of workers embarked on the dig of a lifetime. The incredible, sometimes shocking, story of the 75-year search and its key players has never been fully told — until now. The quest would pit one of the 20th century’s most talented archaeologists — a woman — against top Vatican insiders. The Fisherman’s Tomb is a story of the triumph of faith and genius against all odds. ABOUT THE AUTHOR John O’Neill is a lawyer and #1 New York Times bestselling author. He has spent much of his life visiting and researching early Christian sites. He is a 1967 graduate of the Naval Academy, a former law clerk to Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and senior partner at a large international law firm.

The Fisherman reveals Jesus’s skillful chiseling and brushstrokes in transforming St. Peter from a small-town fisherman to a leader on the world stage. The Apostle Peter voices his real time experiences, thoughts, and emotions as Jesus crafts his masterpiece. Jesus’s little gem was not a rock that he brought down from the mountaintop. His gem was found in his intentional training. Following Jesus as an apostle was not about knowing or doing but being. It did not require me to have figured it all out. It wasn’t about my abilities but his. And it was not me that was going to transform my being; it was the teacher. The transformation of Peter’s life as documented in the Gospels: Mathew, Mark, Luke and John as well as the Book of Acts serves as the backdrop of this tale, revealing the real-life training of a leader by Jesus. Peter’s remarkable evolution changed history and provides a case study for those who wish to pursue their own transformational journey.
