Praise for Armor of God

Praise for The Masada Scroll:

“The Masada Scroll speaks a strong message that whether one follows Christianity, Islam or Judaism, all paths lead to God, and it is this message that makes The Masada Scroll a deeply moving novel that can be appreciated by all who pick it up.”
--TCM Reviews  

“Block and Vaughan include a great deal of arcane knowledge, perhaps even enough to satisfy Da Vinci Code fans.”
--Booklist

“An exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit.”
--Newswire Today

“This is a book that delivers in every way:  a great concept, a fascinating journey, and high-class storytelling. The Masada Scroll will take you to new places and open your mind to new ways to look at the world.  It is the right book at the right time for those of us who seek the ultimate answers to the world’s many troubles. I enjoyed The Masada Scroll as I have enjoyed few other contemporary novels.”
--Greg Tobin, author of Conclave and Selecting the Pope
