Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is Sidney Phelps Little’s “Caleb’s Journey.” It was displayed last April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
Sidney Phelps Little was a graduate of business management. He owned and ran his own printing and computer supply business until 1994. After selling that business, he flew as a contract flight instructor at Kirtland Flight Center at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. It was during this time that he wrote One Step from Glory. Though the book is classified as a novel, it follows actual events that took place during WWI.
Following that, he wrote “Caleb’s Journey.” This, too, was a historical novel based on both secular and biblical histories. The main character, whom he would call his alter-ego, had viewed Jesus as he lived and died in Israel. This book recounts the history of the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 by the Romans.
Sidney Little’s “Caleb’s Journey” is a sage and motivational tale of life in the ancient, fortified city of Jerusalem. It is an enduring story of perseverance, struggle, and faith.
The book was written for Christians and lovers of history. This epic novel of historical fiction follows a simple man named Caleb from his first encounter with John the Baptist to the crucifixion of Jesus and through the early days of the siege on Jerusalem until the city fell in 70 A.D.
