Beloved by many thousands of current and former staff and campers, Timberline celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2011. Toby's Timberline is a look back at the early years of Timberline Ranch, reliving the joyful journey of one happy camper, turned counselor, wrangler, and kitchen helper Included in Toby's Timberline is Rockette's Story: The History of Timberline Ranch, and Tim's Round up of Timberline Horses. This is inspirational, real, and humorous reading at its best: the retelling of authentic Christian living and plain hard work of ranch life and ministry development. "I wrote this because the new generation need to know the beginnings-all the answered prayer and the struggle that went on in the early years" Rockette (Doris Wittenberg) "Writing Toby's Timberline became a journey back home. What a joy to reflect and spend time again with many of the 'Timberline pillars, ' men and women of God who have given of themselves to so many. My story is a small reflection of their work, offered in the spirit of thanksgiving for what was given to me. I hope Toby's Timberline will help others to journey back and remember their own Timberline Ranch experience" Toby (Faith Richardson)

The book looks at the worship of the goddess Nemesis within the context of the Roman ludi and offers the first entire collection and analysis of all known archaeological finds and findings that connect the cult of Nemesis with Roman amphitheatres. Several central aspects of the ancient games are thus emphasized: The political and religious dimension of the events as well as the significance and localization of its most representative goddess Nemesis. The goddess can be attributed to a figurative meaning for the demonstration and restoration of the Roman claim for justice - presented in the amphitheatre, where the most complete cross-section of Roman society came together.
