Lost Time
Adam Johnson literally finds himself Lost in Time after finding a mysterious device in his professor’s office. Too late, he realizes he’s activated the device, and finds himself transported back into Biblical times. His journeys take him from the Garden of Eden to Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Noah’s Ark to the sale of Joseph into slavery. Adam is forced to face his own shortcomings as he’s swept through the Old Testament and in conversations with God, Moses and Job, among others, to the point his outlook on life and his spirit begin to change. Adam strives to find his way home, anxious to turn back time and start over. But can he? Adam feels he might be trapped in time forever, and is forced to rely on something other than himself.

"Lost Time (Time Out Book 1) by Joshua Grant is a simple, but interesting tale about a young man's adventures through Biblical stories.
The Good
-Attention grabber
-Since I've read/studied these Biblical stories, this book held my interest.
-This book is a good page turner.
-Good message
-Without spoiling the book, I did enjoy the moral messages.
-Grant did an effective job of immersing the reader in the Biblical settings.
-"To the east, I saw the soft glow of the sun rising just beyond the hills in the distance, creating a sunrise so beautiful that it would make the most hardened of criminals cry; the colors of sherbet orange, deep purple and blazing pink so gorgeous I swallowed hard in wonder."
-"Dung... lots of dung. That was the first thing that came to mind as the smell surrounding me aroused me from unconsciousness. I awoke in a pile of hay. I slowly sat up, brushing strands of the stiff stuff that clung to my clothes, my face and my hair. Another whiff of the pungent straw caused me to violently sneeze, exacerbating my already pounding head."
-Sci-fi book without the focus being on the why of time travel.
-When "Lost Time" lingers, focuses, and expands on a Biblical story the book shines. I especially enjoy when the story has plot twists woven into the book without changing the Biblical stories.
The Bad
-Ending is fairly abrupt.
-Grammatical errors such as missing punctuation.
The Unsure*
-The series had not been completed, ending with this book even though the book's completion was in 2013.
*My opinion: what I didn't care for or do not prefer. This will not lower a rating unless it overly distracts from the story.
I do hope Joshua Grant finishes the "Time Out" series since the premise is fascinating, and I believe young adults would enjoy these types of books.
