Book Description
Shelby Ferris and David Carson, seniors at Texas A&M, have shared a long friendship. On their last spring break trip before graduation, they set out to discover the Ghost Lights secrets of Marfa, Texas. Despite their many adventurers and discoveries, nothing could prepare them for what they encounter one lonely night in the West Texas backcountry. They discover a cold, dark cave; a gateway to a world where history meets legend. They find a place known only to the long-lost civilizations of the Anasazi, the Nephilim, and the Tekoans. It’s a world of danger that casts a glint of understanding on many of the dark, unanswered hollows in our own history. Their courageous journey illustrates the character of the American spirit. Shelby and David display the strength of solid, unblemished character as they battle ancient myths and solve grand mysteries. It is a story embraced in scientific fact while enjoying the latitude of scientific fantasy. Book Review 1: "Joe Herrington weaves his unique storytelling style into a spellbinding story. Tekoa is a great read for young and old alike...clean, wholesome and exciting." -- Hugh Travis, Scout Executive - Boy Scouts of America Book Review 2: "The book should find a deserved place in every public school library and every city library in the state. ... This is a multifaceted book, obviously the work of a multifaceted and roundly educated author, who obviously believes that righteous values can be combined with hard-nosed science and even mystery and wonder, and who knows how to tell a good story." -- Judith Brueske-Plimmer, Reporter - Alpine Avalanche Book Review 3: "I read this book from cover-to-cover on a cold, blustery Sunday. Never got out of my jammies, cup of coffee by my side. Turning the pages as quickly as I could. What a story!" -- Bobbi Jean Bell LA Talk Radio "The Writer's Block"

Stockmen from Tekoa, Sycamores from Sheba
Author: Richard C. Steiner
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666786888
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
In this brief but far-ranging book, Steiner addresses key issues concerning the descriptions of Amos's occupations. It features a thorough linguistic analysis of each relevant term or phrase, analyses of the how such professions were carried out, and an examination of the social role and standing of those so engaged. S. convincingly solves the apparent contradiction of Amos's claim to be a "cattleman" (boqer, 7:14) and his being taken "from behind the flock" (so'n, 7:15). Moreover, Steiner finds Amos's life as a stockman to be compatible with that of a harvester of sycomore figs (boles siqmim, 7:14; note the spelling "sycomore," to differentiate between ficus sycomorus and the unrelated "sycamore" of North America and Europe).
