Joe Basile is a storyteller, author, filmmaker, podcaster, and creative communicator whose passion for weaving history, faith, mystery, and humor into compelling narratives has captivated audiences across multiple platforms. He is best known for his lead role in the HISTORY Channel documentary The Jesus Strand: A Search for DNA, where his curiosity and engaging presence helped bring an extraordinary investigation to life.

As the youngest of ten children, Joe grew up surrounded by stories. Before long, he became the keeper of those family legends, adding a little more wonder and imagination with every retelling. That love for storytelling evolved into a lifelong mission: helping people laugh, think, hope, and believe in possibilities larger

Then I bothered everybody I knew about it for 20 years and tried to communicate in different formats until I finally wrote the book. Now I can shut up and let the book tell the story. HaHa!(less)

The Last Scrollkeeper by Joe Basile
“They were normally some variation of the same; he saw the entire world—the world above as it had been, though he could only guess—open sky, glistening oceans, cracked deserts, lush forests. When he thought the beauty of it would tear him apart, the dreams shifted to give him a glimpse of his own reality, his world below, no less perfect for what it was, until the whole of it was consumed by darkness and fire. And he always woke with the screams of the dying echoing in his head.”
