John W. Cowart's Books

In THE LAZARUS PROJECTS a team of modern scientists travels back through time to investigate the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by Roman authorities in the year 33. Miami businessman Lazarus Wienstien, multi-millionaire owner of one of America's largest breweries, proposes this investigation. The bizarre death of his only grandson on the very day Mr. Wienstien discovers his own cancer motivates him to initiate five research projects, one of which, he hopes, will insure his personal survival after death. These projects include experiments in cyronics, geriatrics, hypnotic regression, resuscitation and resurrection.

In 1942, only 24 days after Pearl Harbor, school girl Eleanor Law, of Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida, began her diary. Through that first year of World War II, she observes civilian life and finds love. Her diary tells of meeting the man she would eventually marry and live with for 51 years.
