Scout wanted his own legacy. His grandfather Simon seemed immortal. His prodigal father Stone hoped his son wouldn't make the same mistakes, but pride clouded Scout's heart until he journeyed to Tiberias where he was met with new experiences, former friends of his father's, and one tiny wonder of a girl he saw at the port one morning. This is where his trouble began. Lydia would be waiting for their engagement to be announced, but Pella, the girl from the docks showered him with care when circumstances left them in danger. His return home brought shock and anger. He was alone and Pella remained in Tiberias. Traveling back for her brought more disappointment. God simply wasn't speaking and he thought his family's legacy would end. He couldn't understand why God was silent. He was Scout. A greater inheritance was realized one starry night, but Scout remained alone until the watchman saw a small child making her way to his village. Author, musician, and former business owner, Joni's love for history and God's Word resulted in her releasing the Selah Series. Her books represent the life of the believer throughout the seasons we find ourselves, and she hopes the reader will identify with each character. SCOUT is her fourth book of the Series. She has served as a leader in Women's Bible Study and enjoyed many years playing violin on worship teams. Author Joni Hayworth captures another compelling novel of a young man's struggle with entitlement versus humility. Protagonist Scout learns that love and fulfillment are earned, not inherent. He discovers what it means to have a personal encounter with God, not based on his ancestry, but his own need for a Savior. Scout speaks to those that have been lulled to sleep by complacency and pride - a must-read for believers in all stages of their Christian walk. The Selah Series speaks to the heart of Christianity for believers today. Linda BenedictWomen's Ministry, Harvest Church of South Florida

The destruction of the Holy Temple also shattered one man's faith. Stone's restlessness drove him from the quiet hills, to a city full of desire and worldly lust. He found solace in Rome's favorite cafes and inns, until the night he heard the voices from his past. One woman, Hannah, stood in faith, praying Stone would heed their calls, while trying to protect him from the strongholds of the city, and those who used him for their personal gain. Local fishermen hired Stone, hoping he would avoid the entanglements of Tiberias. Confronted with the consequences of the city's passions one stormy night at sea, Stone was awakened, leading him back to the safe arms of Hannah, who wrestled with her own secrets. Together, they overcame, and walked in God's faithfulness back to Stone's quiet hills, the voices now following the prodigal home, their hope renewed in the Father's love. Author, musician and former business owner, Joni has a passion for history, especially His story. STONE is her third book of the Selah Series and she plans to continue expanding her writing career. Over the years she has served in her local church as a leader in Women's Ministry and on Worship Teams playing violin. She hopes her writing inspires others to dig deep in God's Word and discover for themselves the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. She has called South Florida home the past forty years, and in her quiet time, you'll find her enjoying the beach.

A shadow draped the city of Jerusalem in confusion. Darkness covered the land, only to reveal the glorious Light it attempted to bury, but the Light returned to its dwelling place, and obscurity blanketed the city again.

They fled their homes with new enemies in pursuit, and sought refuge in the Galilean hills, hoping the Light would return.

She has a passion for history, especially His story. Over the years she has served in her local church as a leader in Women's Ministry and on Worship Teams playing violin.
