Hi, Brian. I am the author of The Sandal Maker. A new historical novel that will take you on a fascinating journey of how the gospel came to be. You can read the first chapter by going to the link below (copy and paste). Let me know what you think. PS I lived in Highlands Ranch a few years back and in fact began writing this novel there

From the Publisher
A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.

That sounds familiar--maybe you mentioned him in an email or sermon. I read the Calderisi book--thought it was helpful. Have been interested in the Lords of Poverty book--whenever you read it, let me know your thoughts.

I see you've added a couple of books on global poverty/foreign aid--anything in particular inspire that?

Just got started on Shelfari. Ordered "Culture Making" last night. Met you once 2+ yrs ago @ Sbucks/FTW/Trail Lake. I'm planting in TX. Y'all A29 right? Look forward to dialogue on Crouch's book if the offer still stands. Love to hear how Park Church is doing.

You have to read Robert Frost. He's so good at creating simple little scenes that carry a real power. Byron and Keats are great Romantic era poets. Charles Baudelaire wrote some real beautiful/tragic/dark stuff in a book that I picked up for a class in college, "Flowers of Evil." Then there is the modernist master: T.S. Eliot. Eliot's "The Waste Land" is extremely difficult to follow, but it is very interesting and then he has some other poems that are easier to understand and are good works: "The Hollow Men" is a poem I have my students memorize. Two more quickly: I gotta go to class--Tennyson and John Donne.

Welcome. That's exactly why I have appreciated poetry for the past several years--paying closer attention to what could be considered mundane and find beauty, power, and even nuanced perspectives.

I'm pretty sure I heard him being interviewed on NPR a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't heard of him before. I may have to look him up.

Poetry eh, Adoniram? How came this about? Prithee, tell me more.

Consider yourself renamed as far as I'm concerned: Adoniram Brown. I think it should really help with the image you want to evoke. Next step: start referring to everyone who attends Park Church as your "parishioners."
