Produktbeschreibung

This second of the trilogy, Touching God, provides a daily short saying from the ancient sheik, Job, from King David's psalms, and from his son King Solomon's Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. Job lived some thousand years before David and Solomon; yet we see the same wisdom of God shines forth in every millennium of mankind. Since it is illegal to copy long passages of modern translations, I spent many hours carefully paraphrasing all the "Wisdom Literature" taken from the King James Translation which is not copyrighted. I updated the vocabulary used in 1611 Middle English to modern words. We no longer say thee, thou, hast, knowest, so those words all had to be modernized. Middle English vocabulary was sometimes different also. For example, "froward" does not mean to go ahead; it means difficult. In 1611, words were spelled much differently, many letters of the alphabet shaped much differently, and numerous commas were inserted every few words. Their sentences were often in reverse order. For example, the text would read, "I beheld not the moon," and I reversed it to "I did not see the moon." We, today, have great difficulty reading English written four hundred years ago. Here is an example:" In the beginning God created the Heauen, and the Earthe. And the earthe was without forme, and voyd; and darkeneſſe was vpon the face of the deepe: and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the face of the waters. And God ſaid, Let there bee light: and there was light. And God ſaw the light, that it was goode: and God diuided the light from the darkeneſſe. And God called the light, Daye, and the darkneſſe he called Nighte:. and the euening and the morning were the firſt daye."The beautiful cover is an original by famed watercolorist, Betsy Kemp Thompson.

Autorenporträt

Katheryn Maddox Haddad spends an average of 300 hours researching before she writes a historical novel-ancient historians such as Josephus, archaeological digs so she can know the layout of cities, their language culture and politics. Having grown up freezing in the northern United States, she now lives in Arizona where she doesn't have to shovel sunshine. She basks in 100-degree weather, palm trees, cacti, and a computer with most of the letters worn off. The author of over sixty books, both non-fiction and fiction, she sees no letup in the future. For many years, she has been sending out every morning a daily scripture and short inspirational thought to some 30,000 people around the world. Half of her day she spends writing, and the other half teaching English over the internet worldwide using the Bible as textbook. She has taught over 6000 Muslims through World English Institute. Students she has converted to Christianity are in hiding in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Uzbekistan, Somalia, Jordan, Pakistan, Palestine, and Tajikistan. "They are my heroes," she declares. With a bachelor's degree in English, Bible and social science from Harding University and part of a master's degree in Bible, including Greek, from the Harding Graduate School of Theology, she also has a master's degree in management and human relations from Abilene University. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, Christian Writers of the West, and Historical Novel Society, and is also an energetic public speaker who can touch the heart of audiences.
