The Jar of David


Book Description

At the time of King Solomon's reign, David and his family traveled from Hebron to Jerusalem to stay with his Auntie and Uncle for a Holiday. David reunited with his friend Ben. While there, he heard stories of his father's childhood. Together, David and Ben decided to plot and solve the old Jar mystery. Ben and I both rolled over onto our stomachs and propped our heads in our hands. "Broken jar handle?" I asked, "How did you know it was a handle?" Uncle answered, "There were impressions. These impressions were the kind they make on jars made especially for the temple." Katherine Sanborn was born, raised, and lives in Torrance, California, a medium size town just south west of Los Angeles. She took a class in Child Development at a local Junior College. She has two daughters, two sons-in-law, one grandson, one stepdaughter, one step-son-in-law, and two step granddaughters. Her grandson turned 9 last year. His energy, curiosity, and competitive nature inspired her to write this book. She has been teaching a 5th and 6th grade Sunday school class at Crenshaw Baptist Church in Torrance since the fall of 2001. She also has a recently retired husband who, thank goodness, was not at home while she wrote this book.




The Words and Wares of David Drake


Book Description

A celebration of the remarkable poem vessels of Dave the Potter David Drake, also known as Dave the Potter, was born enslaved in Edgefield in the backcountry of South Carolina near the Savannah River. Despite laws prohibiting enslaved people from learning to read or write, David was literate and signed some of his pots. His practice was not only to add his name and a date but also to embellish his work with verse—a powerful statement of resistance. The Words and Wares of David Drake collects multifaceted scholarship about David and his craft. Building on the 1998 national traveling exhibit catalog, I Made This Jar: The Life and Works of Enslaved African-American Potter, Dave, and featuring more than one hundred beautiful images and six new essays, this authoritative volume presents the diverse perspectives of scholars, artists, and collectors. The Words and Wares of David Drake adds important depth and context to our understanding of both Edgefield pottery and the life of Dave. David's work is now so highly prized it is the cornerstone of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's traveling exhibit of nineteenth-century ceramic art from Edgefield.

David's Jam Jar Project


Book Description

It calls itself "C"; it needs help to survive and grow; it communicates with people via the internet. It was brought into being by a schoolboy - by David Stopes - in a biology project; the mobile phone had exploded in the jam jar; the cockroaches inside had all disappeared. Two years on, Inspector Wilderman is the first to notice the link between two strange deaths and to understand the danger, but nobody believes him - until David and his partner, Sandra, repeat the jam jar experiment. The consequences are disastrous not only for Sandra's hairdressing business and its clients, but also for Anglo-Spanish diplomatic relations - and for C itself. It takes the might of the US intelligence services and the French Army to attempt a cure, and the unfortunate but necessary destruction of Angélie's farmhouse, high up in the Massif Central. But is it enough to ensure C's full return to health?

A Bible-based novel, The Rise charts how God raised up a caring shepherd boy David from a dysfunctional Bethlehem family to become a giant killing warrior, leader, psalm writer, and Israel’s greatest king.

Learn from David’s fascination with the Rise why Jerusalem is special, then and now. This good-read faithfully follows the Bible narrative, expanding real-life-stories about poet-musician David’s life in ancient Israel reflected by Parker’s biblical knowledge and imagination. Both exciting and inspirational, David’s heroic triumph over Goliath precedes years of despair and dangerous flight from paranoid King Saul.

Be intrigued by his unique parentage, faithful mother, and relationship with men like Joab and his 600 Mighty Men. Can his disgraceful tryst with Bathsheba be pardoned or anger with God over the ark’s tragedy be pacified? Answers and more are abundant in The Rise.
