City of David or 'Temple Mount'?
Was Solomon's temple--or the later temples located on what became (erroneously) known as Temple Mount? A growing number believe not. Yes, on Mount Moriah--but which part of Mount Moriah? Of course...the ridge and section known as ZION, otherwise known as the City of David! (see 2 Samuel 5:6-7 for example). Since the Patriarchs this site had been known and revered as HaMakom... 'THE' Place. Whilst there is plenty of extra-biblical evidence, in a unique approach, Ian Heard, using Biblical references only shows us where the temples stood--within the ancient City of David or Zion!

KOBO BARNES AND NOBLE SMASHWORDS APPLE BOOKS With a Foreword by Marilyn Sams What readers are saying about: THE TEMPLE QUEST: Through enlightening discussions of extensive biblical passages, Ian illustrates how the Jews thoroughly understood what "the place" (HaMakom) meant to the Jewish psyche or soul, but which most often escapes the modern reader. Ian clearly proves the location of the temple to be above the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem, and this by using only biblical passages. His ability to tease out new information from familiar scriptures and provide new insights is remarkable and rewarding. His work provides the "living water" which he discusses within the work, which uplifts, enlightens, and expands the spirit.

Some Endorsements...
THE TEMPLE QUEST: "...Ian clearly proves the location of the temple to be above the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem, and this by using only biblical passages. His ability to tease out new information from familiar scriptures and provide new insights is remarkable and rewarding. His work provides the "living water" which he discusses within the work, which uplifts, enlightens, and expands the spirit."
Marilyn Sams
THE PLACE: "...Ian Heard's book adds a unique fictional aspect to the growing movement of people accepting the City of David location for the temples in Jerusalem. His perspective on how many biblical events converged at this location brings many insightful possibilities to the table. Especially moving are his heartfelt expressions of faith in and love for the prophets and the Savior of the world."
Marilyn Sams
"I Iove it, I love it!! This book is The Place to find your Place! ..... I share the view that the temple in Jerusalem was more likely to be found in the city of David rather than where the present western wall is situated."
Barry Buirski, Celebrate Messian Ministry, Australia
THE PEOPLE: "The People is an enthralling and innovative approach not only to telling old familiar stories but using narrative to portray, in a subtle but powerful way, the truth of good and evil in our world . . . There is good and evil, God and Satan, and in every human relationship/interaction and behavior a choice is to be made. The consequences, for those with the spiritual eyes to see, are clear. It is an exceptional and well written piece of work."
Dr Allan Bull, MacQuarie University, Sydney
THE PERSON: "In this absorbing read Ian illustrates the beckoning heart of God encountering the hesitating heart of man at the crossroads of Wisdom and ‘Un-Wisdom’. He artfully states a tell-tale divine musing on P.20 “Many wonder at our election of a single human through whom to begin the unfolding of large purpose, but it is our way”. It’s a banquet at a table of archetypal Wisdom. Eat there slowly, linger and be fed."
