Door of the Gentiles: Mystery, Prophecy, Murder

What happens when a mysterious relic is found to have clues about an end-times bible prophecy? That question lies at the heart of Door of the Gentiles, a compelling faith-based book by Rick Smith that includes mystery, suspense, murder, and a little romance.

An ancient bronze scroll, etched with Greek text and strange Christian symbols is discovered in a forgotten tomb. The scroll later reappears in contemporary Rome, sparking a chain of events that pulls multiple lives into its orbit.

Mystery in the Ancient Clues

The cryptic script and unusual symbols point to a coded message about the “fullness of the Gentiles,” a reference from Romans 11:25. As they work to decode the cipher, the mystery deepens: could this relic reveal a prophetic turning point in history? Every clue found pushes closer to a profound revelation.

Suspense in a Web of Ambition

But the scroll is also highly coveted, and its discovery draws attention from dangerous actors: shadowy collectors, ambitious professors, zealous prophecy watchers, and even government officials. The suspense builds as the protagonists search for clues in the city of Rome, and piece together the symbols, while an unspoken question looms over them: who can be trusted?

Murder in the Plan of Deception

The stakes turn deadly with the suspicious death of Leo Rossini, a historian secretly safeguarding the scroll. Soon, betrayal, blackmail, and desperate cover-ups emerge, revealing just how far some are willing to go in order to have the relic. The murder investigation weaves seamlessly into the mystery, adding a police procedural element to the tale’s spiritual and historical puzzle.

A Touch of Romance Along the Way

Amid the decoding of clues and dodging rival factions, sparks of romance begin to flicker. Amelia, struggling with loss and betrayal, finds companionship and resilience as she joins with Jack Stewart, a prophecy author drawn into the mystery. Their growing connection adds warmth to a story thick with danger and deception.

Do It Your Self Help vs. God's Help

You can plan which way to go, but you can also ask for directions: Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” The do it yourself approach to life includes some useful lessons, but the Bible says you don’t have to do it all yourself. Here's an Overview of Self-Help vs. God's Help: Self-help teaches how to change your thoughts and actions based on the wisdom of man. The Bible offers wisdom from God, who invites you to reason with Him and trust His guidance.

Some variations of self-help include a universal energy that can be harnessed to shape your life. The idea is that you can tap into an energy flow in the universe to attract good things, or tune into a frequency that aligns with the vibrations of a beneficial force.     The Bible says that God is a living Spirit with the power to create and sustain all life.  Job 33:4 says , "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." There is a vast difference between God's ability compared to self-help efforts. God is more capable than you can imagine. Whatever is impossible for man, is possible for God.  Isaiah 55:8-9 says , "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord.
