This third book of my Civil War trilogy is about the adopted son in book two, Pirate or Patriot. After some serious head trauma, Edward begins to remember the men that murdered his parents and younger brother. He can remember the leader's voice and the killer's strange walk. He's not anxious to leave his adopted grandparents to pursue the killers, but he feels they need to be brought to justice. Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War has left the South lawless in many areas. Ed finds it difficult to obtain help in getting the murderers arrested and yet wants justice for the murder of his parents and younger brother. He tries to tell himself that is not revenge he wants. There is also the concern that this lawless bunch will continue their rampage and it needs to end. Edward is willing to follow the outlaws further than the Indian territory, if necessary. The first book of the trilogy, Victims Of Conscience, starts at the beginning of the Civil War. The same close-knit family of brothers found in book two, Pirate or Patriot, are in this book, Seeking Justice.

How might our understanding of God's Word be deepened if we recognized the significance of the signs and symbols found within its pages--signs that would have been obvious to the original readers? From the tree of life to Noah's ark, from circumcision to animal sacrifice. From the feasts, the Passover lamb, and the manna in the wilderness to the furniture in the tabernacle and the visions of prophets. From the Lord's Supper to baptism and from the cross to the empty tomb.Throughout the Scriptures, signs and symbols weave a consistent message of God's presence, grace, and faithfulness. This illustrated resource will help readers understand key biblical images that reveal God's purposes and truth. Each entry includes multiple illustrations, explanations, and key Bible passages. Sidebars, quotes, and photos make this guide approachable and engaging.
