O knihe

The only survivor in a plane crash, a young boy who was unconsciousness and not discovered by rescue crews, awakens in the branches of a large pine tree. He has no memory of how he got there or who he is. In his pocket is a small Bible inscribed "to Jared." In this mystical story, he then decides to name himself Jared the Seeker. He soon comes upon a log cabin and meets its strange occupant and his dog. The strange fellow tells Jared that he is Elijah the Prophet and they become companions for several months as Jared experiences many situations and events that can't be explained rationally. Jared then moves on, driven by an inner desire to seek the truth about himself. Eventually, as the result of an accident, he regains his memory and returns home. But there he is faced with a decision that turns out to be the most difficult of his life. Robert Barlow Fox gets many ideas for his writing from his various past experiences. He has BS and MS degrees, has served in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific and with the Army in Europe, and spent three years as a missionary among the Maori people of New Zealand. He is now a retired educator having served as teacher, counselor, psychologist, and parole officer. Robert and his wife have traveled to over fifty countries learning of the history, culture, and customs of the peoples. He is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and has published items in many magazines and journals. He likes to write adventure novels for young adults and family readers. Robert Fox is also the author of TO BE A WARRIOR, THE BOY WHO HEARS MUSIC, and INHERITED FAMILY, all from Sunstone Press.
