God Quest
While helping the museum curator catalog forgotten artifacts, fourteen-year-old Brianna Elliott and eleven-year-old Seth Elliott stumble across a mysterious clock thought lost for nearly seventy years. When the clock is wound, they slip through an interdimensional portal and tumble into an enormous archive. There, Brianna and Seth meet a peculiar old man known as the Time Chronicler. He provides the Elliott siblings with a powerful book that sends them on a whirlwind journey into the distant past. They find themselves in the heart of Old Testament times where they experience the wonders of the God of Israel which guide them toward an encounter with the King of the Jews.
Treasure Quest
Brianna and Seth Elliott were planning a "welcome home" party for their parents, who had been away on an extended archaeological expedition, when they receive a call from their father. He unexpectedly invites them to join them in Israel to chase down a lead on a religious relic. When Brianna and Seth arrive, however, their parents have disappeared. They are given forty-eight hours to find their parents and solve the mystery of their disappearance, a journey that takes them back through time to the first century ad. But, there's a catch. If they fail, they will vanish. Forever. Will they find them in time? And if they do, will it be enough to convince their parents to finally believe the gospel and be saved?
