Author Siegfried Johnson was the guest speaker at the First United Methodist Church Women’s Group meeting on Monday. He is the author of the New York Time’s best seller Dancing with David. Johnson said the book was considered to be religious historical fiction.
According to the book’s summary, it says: “In January 2021, archaeologist David Aaronson unearths a 3,000 year old autobiographical psalm of David near the Dead Sea, inscribed across six tables and dedicated to a mysterious woman the king calls his Kochav Hayam (Star of the Sea). The discovery lends credence to the claim of Aaronson’s former student, Stella Maris, who since 1988 has told of dancing with King David in a vision, he calling her his Kochav Hayam. When the new psalm tells of a hidden seventh tablet, the king’s dying prophecy awaiting discovery by his Kochav Hayam, Stella heads to Jerusalem to reunite with Aaronson, rekindling the attraction both resisted exploring 33 years earlier.”
Johnson earned a graduate degree in biblical Hebrew from the University of Michigan. He currently serves as senior pastor at Christ of the Hills in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.
