As a matter of fact, a book much like you describe will be out next year (2010) for Easter.  It's working title is "Mystery of the Temple Court" and you can read more about it by clicking on the link in the upper left of this page.

Our family absolutely LOVED Jotham's Journey, which we read for the first time this past Christmas. It was SO much fun to watch our 5yo son's and 7yo daughter's faces as we twisted and turned right along with Jotham! We can't wait to get our hands on Bartholomew's Passage and Tabitha's Travels - thank you so much for re-releasing them!

So we were thinking... any plans for a Resurrection series? Our kids think that it would be great if it included new characters, like maybe Jotham and Tabitha's children??? Yes, they were hoping that Jotham and Tabitha would get married and that would be perfect timing for them to have children who could be the main character(s)in a series devoted to the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

Just a thought... we can't get enough of your great storytelling! ;-)

I would love to be notified when the Mystery of the Temple Court is released or if a pre-order if offered. Also, if Tabitha's Travels is re-released, I would appreciate being notified. Thanks!

Mr. Ytreeide, My four boys age 5-10 years and husband, have looked forward to one of the three books in the Jothom Trilogy every year. I have shared them with friends whom also have felt blessed by them. I am so thankful to you for them. It excites me to know that you have written a book for lent. I spent several weeks two years ago trying to find a way to write you and Thank you for writing the books. I also wanted to ask you to think about writing a book for lent. I am glad God placed it on your heart. I cannot wait to buy it so that I can share it with my children and add to the special time of Lent into Easter. So from our hearts, THANKS!! Please continue to bless families with your books. Sincerely, Kris in Missouri

I'm so excited to see the Jotham books back in print! I have all three in the trilogy but was sad that I was not able to lead others to them! And I as especially happy to hear about the book for Lent! Yea!!

I was delighted to get your email updating us on the availability of your books. Even though my son is now 16, it wasn't that many months ago he asked, "Can you check to see if they ever got that new book finished in the Jotham's Journey series?" I see at least 3 new books on your site he'll enjoy and when you get the Easter one done, I'm sure he'll enjoy it as well, no matter what his age. He loves historical fiction and when he went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls we were amazed at how little most of his youth group knew about them, but from your books and from other things he'd read, he had a better understanding of how things were years ago. THANK YOU for providing families with quality reading for their adventure lovers.
