Earth Memories John K Hansen

Boise, Idaho, Fall 2033 - High school junior Moriah Newton is the first to alert her history teacher, Jack Humphrey, about the Earth Memory Recording-EMR-discovery of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount. It doesn't take much to persuade Humphrey, a Christian, to organize a summer tour which will take them to see-and hear-Jesus in Capernaum as well as other ancient sites in Turkey, Italy, Greece and Israel. Two Christian students-Moriah and her friend Sumiko Weiss-will accompany Humphrey and his wife, Tessa on the tour. So will fellow classmates and friends Darrow Dawkins and Bartee Redman-even though neither is Christian, and Darrow is not shy in expressing doubts and criticism about Christianity. Moriah's father, EMR executive Tomas Newton, also goes on the trip-financially supports it, unbeknownst to Humphrey. Follow the story of continuing conflict on the tour between believers and doubters, even as a parallel story is slowly revealed involving Tomas and his wife, Aly-like their daughter, also a believer.
