Every society has a history etched with unexplained mystery. Every continent boasts architectural marvels built with such skill and technology that they defy any modern explanation or possible duplication. Every culture is shadowed with stories of a parallel world, the other side, another dimension and every civilization has legends of doorways, portals or gates between them. The story of Tekoa and the Book of Secrets is such a story. It is set in the rugged West Texas, Guadelupe Mountains and its counter world, the land of Tekoa. Book Review 1: "Fantastic book.

Blow a Trumpet in Tekoa is a beautiful sound of the shofar awakening the Bride and preparing her for a returning King. This book is a simple teaching for Christians. The title comes straight from the book of Jeremiah. It was a war cry.When the trumpet was blown the people knew it meant one of several things-- war, danger, preparation, death, Shabbat or a High Holy Day. The sound said, "The High Holy Days are coming!" Then the people came together. That is what they were doing in the book of Acts in the upper room. Yes, they were coming together for a Feast they had been rehearsing for since the beginning of time-- now it was actually happening. The next sounding of the shofar blast will cry, "The Bridegroom is Here!" Some will have extra oil, others will not be prepared. Many of the prophetic teachings in this book are a long mournful cry for all of us to turn back to The Father and to heed his Commandments. Other topics are for healing, refreshing, and ultimately to draw one closer to HIM. The sound of the trumpet on the pages of this book will awaken you to a new walk and understanding of truths hidden for such a time as this. The beauty of the "Teki'ah," a burst and long shofar blast of triumph, joy, and gladness will ignite your heart as you see Yeshua in every detail of these Feast. The sound of Teki'ah announced the coming KING and today we are closer than we have ever been to His arrival.

"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Imagine the hushed excitement and the vivid anticipation of a child on Christmas Eve. How much more intense that anticipation must have been for those who waited for the wonder of the very first Christmas. From the ancient prophets to the three kings, from the angel Gabriel to the stalwart Joseph, Katarina Katsarka Whitley imagines their astonishment and joy at the events unfolding around them. In her inimitable style, Whitley places herself in the hearts and minds of the biblical characters–both real and imagined–who played a part in the Christmas narrative. She weaves stories, solidly based in Scripture, at once compelling and thought-provoking. The voices of her characters lead us closer to the Christ Child and deepen the meaning of the season of Advent for twenty-first century readers.
