John Finniss is an Australian schoolteacher, trapped in a career no longer fulfilling and undergoing a mid-life crisis. But childhood dreams about life in the sixth century come back to haunt him, and then a dark tunnel manifests in real time, a direct way into the past, challenging him to follow it back into that dark age century and, at the court of King Arthur to find the true destiny he has sought for so long. This is a story that encompasses modern Australia, sixth century Ireland and Britain, the Grail tradition and the Garden of Paradise. In a review Warren Thurston wrote, “Adrian Rogers has created a wonderful fantasy full of powerful images, brought to life by a language full of richness.”
Adrian Pierce Rogers was an American pastor, conservative, author, and a three-term president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Rogers was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, and decided to enter into the Christian ministry at the age of nineteen. He graduated from Stetson University. Rogers was ordained by Northwood Baptist Church (now known as The Village Baptist Church) in West Palm Beach. In 1972, he became the senior pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, where he remained until March 2005. During this period, the church's membership grew from 9,000 to 27,000, and the church moved into a new, megachurch facility.
Rogers was instrumental in the Southern Baptist denomination's shift towards the right that began in the late 1970s, as he was elected president of the denomination during a theological controversy within the denomination. He published eighteen books and is featured on the internationally-available radio and television program, Love Worth Finding, which is broadcast in English and Spanish.
