MEDIA ADVISORY, Mar. 26 /Christian Newswire/ -- Former art historian Michael Grammaticus, Jr. has inherited an ancient and dangerous secret -- and it seems he is the last to know. Grammaticus' journey of discovery into history and his own family secrets is the premise of "The Treasure of Israel," a new release from Revival Nation Publishing.

"I love history and this story gave me an opportunity to weave history, faith and mystery into one story," Munson said. "Anyone who is interested in fiction, art and ancient history will love this story."

The Treasure of Israel is the first book for Munson, associate pastor of The Vineyard Church in Long Island, New York.

"Often as Christians, we get so focused on the so-called 'secrets' of Scripture, we forget the main and plain things," Munson added. "There's a lot of Christian fiction or non-fiction out there that deals in some way with Herod's treasure, the rebuilding of the temple, end-time prophecy and the State of Israel. Here's a detective novel that will challenge the reader in a fun way to reexamine some dearly held assumptions in the light of Scripture."

"This book is an incredible story that will keep you on the edge of your seat," said Greg Holmes, president of Revival Nation Publishing. "We are thrilled to announce this release."

"The Treasure of Israel" will be available from Revival Nation Publishing on April 1. To order a copy online, go to www.revivalnationpublishing.com. To arrange an interview with S.J. Munson or to get the book in your store, call Kim Sloan at 1-866-487-1361, ext. 702.
