Chapter Seven

The Angel

David’s head was still spinning as he turned back toward the hotel to rejoin his sleeping family. The tower clock had just struck 1 a.m. David couldn't believe it. Where had the time gone? If everything John had said was true, the answers he had been given only opened more questions. David wondered which parts of the story he could tell Amy without sounding like a lunatic. As he stepped off Charles Bridge, he paused beside a bench before sitting down to ponder things.

If he was the guardian or keeper, as John had said, then there was so much more that he had to learn. God had chosen him for a purpose: a higher one. David’s heart tugged inside his chest as he considered those words. Who was he to be chosen for something as miraculous as being the keeper of this Wenzel Bible? Shouldn’t that go to someone who was purer of heart? Sure, David believed he was a decent human being, but that didn’t mean he felt worthy of fulfilling a holy calling or purpose.

David leaned his head back against the bench and closed his eyes. A memory flitted through his mind, and he sat up suddenly. He wasn’t sure how he remembered or even knew about the story, but he did, a story about his grandfather . . . and a man named Andel. Wasn’t that angel in the Czech language? David’s brow furrowed, and he clenched his eyes shut as he tried to remember, but the memory faded into a dream that seemed to unfold in a direction of its own.

During the forty-two-days voyage, the two young men were inseparable. The only item that drove a wedge between their friendship was their divergent goals and dreams. Though they had been friends since childhood, the two had never seen eye to eye on how to live their lives. Andel conducted his daily affairs by consulting his Wenzel Bible, which he read every day at sea. Grandfather quickly recognized the book's monetary value, and told Andel what he thought he could fetch for it, should he run up against hard times. Andel was aghast. He cherished the book and guarded it with his life. Grandfather's disregard for something so spiritually tantamount in Andel's life made the rift that eventually drove them apart. Andel also had been a man of love and compassion, intending to devote his life to the service and care of others, while Grandfather had . . . other goals. He had been blinded by the lure of money, of American streets flowing with milk and honey, and of the promise of being able to rise to the heights of luxury. But he also had to be
