The Widow's Son and the Lost Word - Paperback

by Ramesh Gupta (Author), Robert Lomas (Foreword by)

The intention of the Jerusalem Temple was to bring Humanity together in worship of the Most High and to be a resting place for the Ark of the Covenant. King Salomon, aided by his friend King Hiram of Tyre and Master Architect, Hiram Abiff (the son of a widow of Naphtali), form a Holy Triarchy to ensure that the greatest temple built is a suitable dwelling place for God. In undertaking this task, each is entrusted with a component of the name of the Most High that can only be uttered when the three unite upon the Temple's completion. Queen Balkis of Sheba, seeking wisdom and the secrets of a Master Mason, contrives the Chief Architect's murder, so ensuring the ineffable name of the Most High is lost to Mankind. The Widow's Son and the Lost Word relates an enduring tale of eternal hope, resurrected from the dust of death and despair.
