Introduction

If You Had An Opportunity To Meet Anyone In History, Who Would You Want To Meet?

Author M.J. Sullivan answers this question clearly and without hesitation. He places the character Michael Stewart back in first century Jerusalem and gives this flawed human being an opportunity to change history or even better understand what faith could mean to his life once again.

Struggling with the demands of being a single father, Michael Stewart's life revolves around his daughter Elizabeth – a precocious girl who’s growing up much too fast.  Michael is all too aware of time – time lost, and time still slipping away. 

But fate, or perhaps something more divine, has other plans for Michael.  When he and Elizabeth stumble upon a root-cellar door in the floor of an old church, they discover that it‘s actually a tunnel  leading back in time to first century Jerusalem during the tumultuous last week of Christ’s life. With the help of Leah, a newfound friend, they try desperately to escape, avoiding menacing soldiers at every turn, including one determined to make Elizabeth his own.  

 

Trapped in the past -- both literally and figuratively -- Michael comes face to face with some of his most limiting beliefs, and realizes he must open himself up to the possibility of a deeper faith in God, people, himself, and love before he can find his way home.

 

"For almost two decades I've known M.J. as one of the best sportswriters in the business.  Now, after all this time, I find out he's a born novelist.  Who knew? When Time Forgets is the product of a big talent and a mighty heart, and this entrancing tale of mysteries both temporal and spiritual is sure to take up residence under your skin."
