"You are going to burn in hell, forever!" This is quite an
opening line for a work of fiction that is designed to promote an
exchange of learning between East and West with attention to the
common principles of all religions.

The book, "Second Coming of Da Vinci – Real Lost Symbols of
Bible" is from Shambhu Nath, an author who resides in Shakopee,
Minnesota. It is self-published by Eshna Publishing at BookSurge
and will be released on March 15th to Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The story surrounds a Hindu boy who converts to Christianity –
out of a deep desire to save himself from a hell that is very
real to him. Later as a grown man, an incident both creates a
conflict and disillusionment with his faith. Making matters
worse, this same conflict causes the young Christian convert to
stand on the very edge of an abyss that threatens to engulf him:
that of losing his faith in Christ – and God Himself.

Nath looks back to 2003 when Dan Brown's novel, "The Da Vinci
Code" sparked a stirring intellectual debate surrounding the
historical facts of the Church and Jesus Christ. He recalls the
gamut of emotions felt by many faithful that he said were
significant at a time when so much was put to question by
biblical scholars and scientists alike.

Nath wanted to open a similar debate but on a wider scale that
encompasses more religions of the world with Second Coming of Da
Vinci – Real Lost Symbols of Bible. He says this "new element"
presents a riveting fictional work that provokes profound thought
within the highly personalized context and experiences of a
single individual.

"This is an ideas-driven, richly textured novel, weaving in and
out of Eastern and Western philosophies, connecting the facts
revealed for both," said Nath. "A powerfully moral book, it
concerns itself with the choices one makes in life."

Nath said the novel works on two levels. It has a moving story to
satisfy the casual reading, while also proposing facets of deep
spirituality as theological curiosities.

Nath said that he wrote the book for readers to identify with a
character living during these difficult times – and questions the
status quo in a search for true understanding. It is also a
search to regain a sense of hope and courage – and an ability to
stand up and face personal challenges.

Nath also attempts to touch on the basic questions surrounding
God and religion with a decoding of lost symbols – with a goal of
inviting the reader to open their hearts to love and to living
itself.
