The adventures of Jotham and Bartholomew continue as their friend Tabitha begins her own travels.
What happened to Tabitha from the time Jotham left her until Bartholomew met her? Where did she go when she left Qumran, and did she ever accomplish what she set out to do?
Tabitha's Travels follows Jotham's friend to places that girls aren't supposed to go in 4 B.C. Palestine! Never one to shy away from an adventure or a fight, Tabitha shows the men of her world just what a girl can do.
The third and final installment of the Jotham's Journey series, Tabitha's Travels ties up all the loose ends and lets us see what was going on while Jotham and Bartholomew had their backs turned!

The kids as well as my wife
The kids as well as my wife and I were captivated by the daily readings and devotional thoughts. When we saw that there was a sequel, we ordered Bartholomew's Passage and devoured that one the next year. We ordered two more sets of books, one for each child, and this Advent season, gave one set to our daughter and son in law.

Thanks for your comments, and I respect your opinions. One of the founding principles in my writing is that people are people no matter the era or culture in which they live -- that's why Jotham and Bartholomew seem very much like ten-year-old boys of today. Of course, every person is unique, and there's no one stereotype for any age or gender -- not all girls are concerned with equal treatment, but neither do all girls simply want to stay at home and be quiet. I gladly accept the label of "feminist" if by that you mean I believe that every human is equal and should not be discriminated against simply because they were born one gender/race/ethnicity or another. Yes, I believe that God made the man the head of the household, but I don't believe in so doing He was silencing the woman, or restricting her contribution to cooking and cleaning. In that regard, I believe Jesus was the first feminist -- he shocked and dismayed his disciples by actually talking to women, and treating them with respect. At the end of the day you may well be right that I took the issue too far, but if so it was after vetting the story through my (very conservative) wife and a dozen others in the publishing process. Perhaps none of us saw what you have seen -- and I mean that sincerely. On the other hand, perhaps it's time to recognize that women played prominent roles in the Bible, and deserve to be allowed to follow their dreams and desires today. Perhaps they're more like my own daughter, who is perfectly content working in the home, caring for my (beautiful and perfect) granddaughter, and who also has a degree in Political Science and spends her spare time writing. In any case, whatever "feminism" Tabitha shows, I don't believe it's an issue only for the 21st Century; I believe many little girls of the first century probably felt like the many young ladies I've taught over the years who are sick and tired of being told they "can't" simply because they're girls. But I will continue to reflect on these things.

How wonderful to hear from you! Authors don't often (or never!) get to know who does the artwork for their books, let alone who modeled for that artwork. I'm glad to hear she's going to college and doing well. Please send her my blessings.

Thanks for the note. My wife and I are also alone now...a strange and wonderful change. It's hard to believe that "Jotham" is almost 15 years old (the book, not the boy)!
We still read them!
We are thankful for these books

Sorry, there won't be any more Advent books in this series. However, an Easter story following Jotham's son 30 years later will be out in 2011.
Any new books in the series?
Yesssss!!!
