Lost shipwreck of Paul
"The Lost Shipwreck of Paul" is a new book by Robert Cornuke, former police investigator and author of “The Search for the Real Mt Sinai”. Inspired by the words of the Acts, “they let go the anchors and left them in the sea”, this book is his account of the search for the four anchors that were left in the sea. A review fron readnreap.net:
Since it’s not a mystery novel, one can know pretty early what the outcome of the search will be. In fact, there aren’t many surprises in the book at all. There are some interesting bits of information about the island of Malta and the people who live there. Cornuke spends a lot of time with the local divers trying to find out information about the sea, storms, the anchors, etc… As a result, the reader gets a glimpse into the everyday lives of these divers and fishermen.
Some of the things that he finds out has implications for the veracity of Scripture.
A few of the more interesting tidbits of information are: 1) there really is a place where “two seas meet” 2) there really is such a thing as a “northeaster” with waves violent enough to destroy a huge cargo ship, and 3) the traditional site of the shipwreck, St. Paul’s Bay, is NOT the real site (this doesn’t really speak to the veracity of Scripture, but it’s interesting!).

Thanks for linking to my review. I trust that since you did so, you found the overview of the book satisfactory to someone living in Malta today.
