If Cameron Vaux can't find it, he will lose everything. "You will lose your mind. When it starts happening...you must find the Book of Days." When Cameron's dying father delivers this message, he brushes it off. Lose his memory? He's only twenty-five. Find a book that doesn't even exist. Foolishness. Nothing more than the product of his father's dementia. But now, eight years after his father's death, it's happening. Chunks of Cameron's life are just--gone. Even memories of his wife, killed two years ago, have slipped away. Could it be...? Is his father's eerie prediction coming true? Desperate, Cameron determines to fulfill his father's last wish. He will find the Book of Days. But when a lead takes him to the small town of Three Peaks, Oregon, Cameron realizes dark secrets are at work. The townspeople, warm as apple pie at first, turn cold as liquid nitrogen when Cameron mentions the Book. As his mind works against him, Cameron discovers that friends may be enemies. And the one person Cameron can't stand? She might be his strongest ally. But there are others seeking the Book. Others who will stop at nothing to get it. And they're closer than Cameron ever imagined.... "Great concept, great fun to read! Blends Peretti's The Visitation and Jordan's The Miracle of Mercy Land ." --Eric Wilson, New York Times bestselling author "Rubart is officially one of my favorite writers. Book of Days is why people buy novels." --Dan Walsh, award-winning author of The Unfinished Gift "Rubart's talent is undeniable, and his ideas are pure wonderment." --Rene Gutteridge, award-winning author of Listen

Using Psalm 139:16 "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.", Jim Rubart has woven a suspense novel that will prompt you to think, keep you in suspense, and tie it all up in a message of truth.
Prior to her death, Cameron Vaux's wife had said "Death brings clarity. It sweeps away all the doubt." Now she is gone, killed in a car accident, and he is struggling to keep her memory from fading.
Cameron watched his father die of Alzheimer's. Is that what his future holds? Will he also lose the memories that make a life? In a rare, lucid moment before his death, Cameron's father tells him of the Book of Days.
What follows is a great read. Suspense that hooks you to the last pages, interesting new age subject matter, some mystery, more suspense, and identifiable characters. I think I have met someone like that Jason Judah guy.
Having read Rooms and Book of Days, I am getting a feel for Jim Rubart's writing. I enjoy his quick dialogue, his outdoors settings, and the mystery he builds in his novels. I look forward to reading more of his work.
I met Jim Rubart briefly at a writers conference in 2010. His father had just passed away the day before. He wrote the Book of Days while his father was dying of Alzheimer's. Knowing all this made reading the story much more engaging for me.
