Master Fancher's Light unto Our Path, is a story of tragedy and triumph, as an English boy faces his father's death at the tender age of six. Unable to provide for himself, he spends time in houses of refuge until signing as a servant to a master in the Colony of Virginia. After his servitude, he returns to England where he learns the craft of weaving, before returning to Virginia as a landowner. Triumphs and tragedies continue as he and his wife sell their land and go meandering throughout New England. There they resort to a transient lifestyle highlighted by years of hardships and humiliations. "Wm Fancy owned it as his sin his oft drinking..." William's lack of vision, magnified by his lifelong trend of non-channeled self-sufficiency plus his drinking, led to Katherine's humiliating propositions as she worked as a handmaid. In search of their place in life, the couple's wanderings heaped humiliations upon them, until triumph revisited when the two finally began to prosper in Brookhaven, L.I., N.Y.
Captain William Barker's ship, the Merchant's Hope left Gravesend, England in July 1635. As the wind carried the ship the passenger's hopes were cast to the wind as well. England grew distant in the background, as families left memories of a lifetime behind. Richard Fanshawe, a 22 year old traveler was on board. Using Richard as a link, the author details an English family's migration to Virginia. Transcription errors allowed the family to remain hidden in the archives, until recent discoveries brought their identity to light. They traveled from England to Virginia, New England, Tennessee, and into Texas. Many hardships occurred, including public whippings, but the story ends on a high note as a patriarch leaves an eternal legacy. One reader says, "The book was well written. Your heartwarming tribute to your father touched my heart. You're a man of hidden poetic talents, a wordsmith. What a wonderful family legacy your book will be to future generations!"- Hooker

This Book does a detailed and well presented study of DanielÕs 70 Weeks Prophecy. The often misunderstood 70th week can be placed as an overlay which perfectly fits within a time frame encompassing the seven Hebrew Feasts during the ministry of Jesus and the ministry of Stephen. Namely, those feast are The Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, The Feast of Tabernacles, Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, The Feast of First Fruits, and Pentecost. Explanation of each feast and how their fulfillment has been accomplished will be found within the pages of this book. Additionally, an account to the previously considered mysterious numbers, 1290, 1260, 1335 mentioned by Daniel will be presented. The shockingly misunderstood and superstitious labeling of the term, ÒAbomination of DesolationÓ should be properly brought to light as one comprehends this reading. The biblical simplicity and significance of 40 days and 40 years will likely be a welcomed addition to the readerÕs store of knowledge as well.
The author draws upon Peak Forest legends to unite readers with Diana Eyre's spirit. A phantom wind ushers the memory of Diana into the forest where she recants her visits to the place of which the King had given authority to her ancestors. She shares treading upon thoroughfares carved out by the Romans. She recollects walks through the dark canopied forest of Hope, Derwent Valley, and Sherwood Forest, the retreat of Robin Hood. She gasps at thoughts of Henry VIII's doings during Reformation. She recalls Eyre monuments in Hathersage Churchyard near Little John's grave, and foresees Hathersage as the setting for the book "Jane Eyre". As Diana relives history and superstitious tales, an elusive wolf lets out a chilling howl. The story nears its close as the wolf's distant cry breaks the wind's spell, and provokes it into fits of aggravated maneuverings. Seemingly, at the behest of nature's call, the wind, having sensed it's completed mission, takes Diana's memories back to their former hidden realm.
