The New Carlisle Public Library will host Nancy Flinchbaugh, introducing her recently published book, Revelation in the Cave, on Tuesday evening, September 4th,  at 6:30 pm. Copies of her book will be available and she will sign them after the talk.
The book revolves around a group of women called "The MAMs," from the Magnificent and Marvelous Book Club. When their interest in ancient cave paintings leads them on an unexpected adventure, the women make a leap of faith, leaving their day-to-day lives behind, and travel to modern Turkey for an archaeological dig. They discover first century scrolls written by first century spiritual heroines.  As the group dodges bullets, a religious fanatic and obstructive government officials, the scrolls are translated. One by one they lead each of the women to illumination in their personal lives while revealing an engaging story that calls out the teachings of Jesus and the book of Revelation
