Caroline
Davidson, a retired school teacher with a degree
from UNT, has three daughters and twelve grandchildren.
She and her husband live near Fort Worth, Texas, and
enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, horseback
riding, boating, and gardening. In the fall she usually
goes to New Hampshire, her home state, to view the gorgeous
multi-colored fall foliage.
In summer she may go deep-sea fishing, picking berries,
or collecting sand dollars and shells at the beach.
However, eleven years ago things changed. She began
to spend her spare time researching and writing a book.
It began as a letter to explain the Apostolic doctrine
to her eldest daughter who had grown up in church but
could not distinguish the Apostolic doctrine from the
Trinitarian doctrine. Soon it became evident that this
explanation was far too lengthy to be contained in a
mere letter. Thus, Poisoned Wine was born.
From that moment Ms. Davidson became engrossed
in her book. When it grew to twenty-five typed pages,
her son-in-law became interested and took her book to
work where it caused quite a stir. Then she gave a copy
to her pastor who suggested she have it printed, so
she renewed her research efforts.
In planning the book, she retraced the steps she took
when she was seeking for information before her conversion
and mingled the thoughts she’d had at that time among
the words of her book. She chose the name Abigail for
the girl in the story line because the biblical Abigail
was a strong-willed woman who was determined to do what
she must do even though she had to stand against her
husband, not commonly done at that time (I Samuel 25:14-35).
Several times Ms. Davidson thought her book
was finished but more information or another related
subject would come to mind.
Ms. Davidson hopes Poisoned Wine will be useful to all
those who desire truth about the Apostolic doctrine
and the biblical plan of salvation.
