"The King, Father & Mother" by Eric Rhodes is an eye opening novel, which takes the reader on a soul's journey of self discovery through three periods of reincarnation. The three life times are interwoven throughout the novel, giving the reader a seamless image of time and the divine tapestry of the soul.
First incarnated as an Gnostic monk living in the Abu Mina Monastic settlement in 4th century Egypt, the soul returns eight centuries later to undergo trial and tribulation as a crusading Hospitaller knight, seeking divine knowledge in the Holy Land, and fighting the final battle for Acre. Finally, as we enter the 21st century the soul arrives in the magical landscape of Ireland, reincarnated as a hedge fund manager struggling with a spiritual and economic crisis, who is propelled into a life altering discovery of universal laws and the true meaning of the Trinity.

"LL Book Review - Review 102: The King, Father & Mother by Eric Rhodes" The King, Father, and Mother is reminiscent of Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, not quite as good as the Da Vinci Code but still a compelling read. In Eric Rhodes’ book, we follow three men, separate in time but connected by an Irish hillside and a mysterious stone. The first is an ancient monk who inscribes the stone. The second is an injured knight who has risen through the ranks of the Hospitallers to lead the hospital ward in Ireland that contains the stone. The third is a modern-day stock broker, buffeted by the crash of the markets who has come to this place to find solace. To read the rest of this review go to: Review 102 - The King, Father & Mother
