Review of Seeking the Light of Justice

[Following is a volunteer review of "Seeking the Light of Justice" by Dr. Barry Nadel.]
The light of Justice was a famous king who ruled with justice, righteousness and faith. Everyone who could meet this king would have their lives changed completely. Yoshua Rosenberg was seeking the Light of Justice over twenty five years, like many others who searched for it. After so many years of his research he found some evidence in Italy and from there he and his team of friends and family went through Spain where they discovered an old chapel which used to be a Jewish house of study and later was changed into the Catholic Church, after that, the church was closed five hundred years back.
In his research Yoshua discovered the most hidden secret of the Catholic Church, a sealed room with human bodies of both children and adults including books that had stories of the Light of Justice were sealed in an underground vault inside the church by Pope Alexander. The Jewish bodies laid there for more than five hundred years and well conserved, during that period the Jewish people were exposed to inhuman and degrading kinds of chastisement because they did not want to convert themselves to Christianity. Moreover, there was an official inquisition taking place, so there was no way for them to escape this rude act. Of course after the discovery Yoshua was arrested, but fortunately there was a team preparing to rescue him. On the other side the miserable victims photos were in international and national medias, protests were all over inside and outside Spain grueling the Spanish government to modify the Spanish inquisition.
The first thing that drew my attention in this book is the title itself Seeking the Light of Justice. I read the book with troubled desire of what injustice took place, of course I found it, those Jewish bodies who were sealed in a room for more than five hundred years.
I like Dr. Barry Nadel writing skills, he used a simple, clear language and he introduced each character and episode in each chapter, which encouraged me to continue reading. The characters played their roles with enthusiastic as they developed their roles.
In addition,the book teaches us a life lesson of living in a religious, praying and a loving family, Yoshua had a loving and harmonically united family. Most part of the book is about love and affection. Now I understand why Dr. Nadel dedicated this book to his late wife who taught him true love. Also I learnt some of Spanish vocabulary - diablo meaning devil and Hebrew HaShem meaning God, mo ’dehan which means I thank, because I don’t speak Hebrew neither Spanish.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading the book, although I didn't like the fact that there is lot of character’s thoughts which makes the book too long and they are almost in every chapter.
Moreover, these tortures are still happening today in some religions, especially to Christians in some parts of the world who don’t want to convert themselves to other religions, some of them are even burnt inside their churches , this fact makes the book nonfiction though it is fiction. Therefore, I rate the book 3 out of 4 stars since the book was not perfectly edited and there are typos, spelling and grammar errors.
This book would appeal to religious people who fight for their religion and those who fight for justice; I believe that if many people read this book would be aware of issues that religious people face in different countries daily. I would not recommend this book to very sensitive people, since the scene of the sealed bodies were described with every detail. It would be a great shock for them.
I have found some typo, spelling and grammar while I was reading the book Especially at the end of the book the chapters Preview of chapter 1 and Preparation for Escape are confusing, I don’t think the chapter Preview of chapter one should be included in the contents also it has nothing to do with chapter 1.
