Return to the Garden

Do you ever wonder where the Biblical Garden of Eden was actually located? Ever think about how the ancients with few tools and no modern machines moved 2 ½ million blocks of stone to build the Great Pyramid of Cheops? Did God really promise the Israelis all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates River in Mesopotamia? Will the fighting in the Mideast ever end? Get the answers to these questions and more in the exciting new book RETURN TO THE GARDEN by Jeff Shakespeare, PhD and Barb Bouse. (Yes, Jeff's 13th great-grandfather was William Shakespeare's grandfather!)

RETURN TO THE GARDEN opens as climate change is ravaging the Middle East. A severe drought has people standing in water distribution lines just to get enough water to drink. The veneer of civilized behavior is falling away. Israel has offered a prize of $100 million to anyone who can solve the water emergency. Michael Walters is an African American PhD candidate in Civil Engineering from MIT and his girlfriend, Ariana, is an Iranian born venture capitalist in Boston. As Michael and Ariana collaborate to solve the Mideast water crisis, they discover the true location of the Garden of Eden. Michael and Ariana set out to build the largest dam ever conceived on Earth across the Nile River, resolving the drought crisis and saving countless lives. They persevere through terrorist attacks, nuclear threats and an earthquake to finish the megadam. Together, they create a Crystal City as foretold in the Book of Revelation where all people live together in peace.
