" I did the lion skull for the front cover of * ASANTE PAPA! *. Not only did I want to,but I realized that of all the possible images I could use,the lion skull was very significant to the peoples of East Africa in the ' Old Days ' - in an old time way. " from * ASANTE PAPA! * by Paul D. Hammersten Papa Hemingway would have appreciated the leather work. He liked the elemental and people who worked by hand. "...she[ Debba,with the soul of Africa shining out of her eyes in admiration ] put her hand back on the holster which she truly loved,it having been carved better in Denver than anyone had been carved or tattooed,by Heiser & Company,in a beautiful flowered design which had been worn smooth with saddle soap and destroyed by sweat..." * from * True At First Light * by Ernest Hemingway |

Paul D. Hammersten - an artist,historian,and Biblical scholar - has broken absolutely new ground for the study and appreciation of Ernest Hemingway and his work. " Paul Hammersten has crafted * ASANTE PAPA! * that reclaims the protagonist of American letters for the Christian fold. He reveals how Hemingway's quest for the perfect sentence was part and parcel of the human soul's search for ultimate truth and light. He agrees with those who see Hemingway's prose in a direct line of exalted descent from the King James Bible. "
from " Praising Papa And the Lord " by Edward F. Maroney "...the TRUE LIGHT that gives light to every man was coming into the world. " Prologue to the Gospel of John old King James
