Bookroo's summary

Meet Concord Cunningham, a young detective who cracks cases using the Bible as his guide. When a piece of art is stolen, Concord's unique method of solving mysteries challenges readers to uncover the truth through Scripture. Can you solve the puzzles before he reveals the biblical answers? Dive into a world where faith and mystery intertwine, and every clue leads to a verse.

From the publisher

It has been said that one can find the answers to all of life’s mysteries in the Bible. The Word of God is sufficient to meet all our needs. Finding the answers requires at least a basic knowledge of the Bible. The concordance is a topical index of key words that lead a scholar to appropriate Bible verses. It is a valuable tool to finding answers in the Word of God.Concord Cunningham is a boy who has discovered this tool and uses it to solve mysteries in his community. His success brings him acclaim, and a reputation as a Scripture Sleuth. Readers will be challenged to solve the mysteries without the advantage of a concordance, but Concord Cunningham will reveal the source of the answer in Scripture. This is the first of a series.
