"Unless You Become As Little Children, You Cannot Enter The Kingdom Of Pharaoh.'' By an author of young Egypt fiction and adult Egypt fiction.
An ironic paraphrase of Matthew?
“Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are as children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Ancient Egypt strikes us when we have a child-like hunger for, and openness to, mystery - and to intimations of immortality, ‘a connection to something beyond the physical and finite, belonging to a larger, possibly divine reality and spiritual eternal life as we find in Wordsworth’s poem ‘Ode to Intimations of Immortality, which examines how these feelings fade with age and the loss of childhood innocence.’
(Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close. Upon the growing Boy.)
Sadly, to die to mystery, is to die to life and possibly to our beliefs.
If you still have that early sense of wonder and love of mystery, you may have read these books for young-ancient Egypt fiction readers.
That same hunger and search for mystery and eternity continues in these ancient Egypt inspired fiction titles.
