 An Amazing Tale May 05, 2008
By Peter N. Jones
History is largely made up of the stories of secret societies, odd cults, mysterious people, and closed institutions and organizations. Trying to decipher fact from fiction when writing history is often left up to professionals - those who have spent the greater part of their life earning advanced degrees, studying primary sources, and compiling dates and events. However, this has led to a skewing of the historical story. Perhaps no other book in the modern historical pantheon has illustrated this fact then Howard Zinn's A Peoples History of the United States What Howard did was to tell history from a different perspective; that of the people who lived it rather then from the dates and events that revolved around it. This method of telling the people's history revolutionized our understanding of the past, and has led to hundreds of other books that deal with specific examples of history told through the eye's of individuals. Days of Elijah: A True Story is such a book. Telling the amazing story of Eliza Earsman, I was unprepared for what was about to unfold before my eyes.
Not only is Days of Elijah: A True Story an autobiography about a person who has lived through one of the most interesting parts of contemporary world history, but it is a story about perhaps one of the greatest conspiracy theories presently known. What conspiracy theory am I referencing? That of the Scottish Ritual Freemasonry, a little known secret society that has had members involved in most major events in world history for the last two hundred years.
Born into the Scottish Ritual Freemason society, Days of Elijah: A True Story takes the reader on an amazing journey that involves the Mountbatten-Windsor family, relatives of Sir Winston Churchill, builders of the United States White House, and much more. Now, after years of hardship, running from "those in power," and finally touched by God, the author Eliza Earsman has had the courage to step forward and share her story with us. What is so interesting about this story over those of others is its sheer unbelievableness. Yet all the facts are clearly presented. Pictures are offered, genealogical trees are provided, names and dates and locations are all given. So why have I not heard of any of this before? Why has this story - and all that it entails - been kept locked away and never told? The answer to these questions is revealed in the story - one that you will have to read to believe.
In today's world of globalization, concealing how the powerful families continue to control much of the world's financial, economic, and political resources is becoming harder and harder. Yet, at the same time there has been little in terms of facts and hard evidence to clearly demonstrate this. Finally, in Days of Elijah: A True Story a few of those facts have been put forth. Like all good stories - and empirically based histories - it is up to the reader to decide if what is presented is true or not. I can't give you my verdict yet; I'm still deciding. I can say that after reading this book my eyes are open a lot wider, I'm asking questions a lot more, and I'm examining the patterns between power, politics, and religion a lot closer.
If you have an intriguing mind or have experienced some things in your life that have led you to question the currently presented storyline of history, then this book is a must have. It will open your eyes to what is going on around you, and your heart to the author for having the courage and will to present this story.

 Before my eyes did appear ... Jan 02, 2010
By Susan Klopfer
"Susan"
I finally picked up this book and began reading, not knowing at all what to expect. The author is a storyteller, and a good one at that. I was quickly drawn into the pages and could follow along because I have studied some of her themes in the past. Her work is fascinating and dark, at times. It is a good read and a quick read. Eliza Earsman helps the reader along by providing a glossary and, if anything, leaves readers wanting to learn more about Free Masonry and the Scottish Rites. A very creative and unique way to advocate and protest.
