Sheba's Quest
Author: Peter Trumper
Publisher: Emerald House Group
ISBN: 9781840301465
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The Queen of Sheba is undoubtedly one of history's most fascinating personalities, the subject of stories both biblical and romantic; the lady who traveled 1200 miles across a desert to meet King Solomon. For 3,000 years, their names have been linked together--Jesus himself referred to them. Yet, despite such fame, little is known about her and the reason for her visit to Jerusalem. Some say she came on a trade mission and stayed for a romantic affair. But in fact, it was not commerce that brought her, but the irresistible grace of the living God. Her heart ached, not for commercial gain or romance, but for the truth--and she was prepared to go wherever she needed to find it. With sanctified intelligence, then, it is possible to unravel the "hard questions" that Sheba asked Solomon; to follow her train of thought during the historic meeting between the two. In turn, as the quest concerned the name of the Lord, we can understand what was taking place between the two. The world believes commerce or romance, but Solomon was pointing Sheba to the name which is above every name.

In Search of King Solomon's Mines
Author: Tahir Shah
Publisher: Arcade Publishing
ISBN: 9781559706414
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
King Solomon, the Bible's wisest king, was possessed of extraordinary wealth. The grand temple he built in Jerusalem was covered in gold. Over the ages, many have sought to find the source of the great king's wealth -- but none with so much flair, wit, or whimsy as Tahir Shah. Intrigued by a map he finds in a shop not far from the site of the temple, Shah assembles a multitude of clues to the location of Solomon's mines. From ancient texts to modern hearsay, all point across the Red Sea to Ethiopia. Shah's trail takes him on a wild ride by taxi, bus, camel, and donkey to the gold-bearing corners of this storied and beautiful country. He interviews the hyena man of Harar, is hauled up on a rope to enter a remote cliff-face monastery, and stumbles upon an illegal gold mine where thousands of men, women, and children dig with their hands. But the hardest leg of the journey is to the accursed mountain of Tullu Wallel, where legend says the devil keeps watch over the entrance to an ancient mine shaft... Book jacket.
