Hi, Juanamom. I am the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus. A book that will take you on a fascinating journey of how the gospel came to be. You can read the first chapter by going to scribd.com and searching for the title. I’m including here the publisher's notes from Amazon.com. Let me know what you think.Book DescriptionCaleb, an elderly Jew, leaves the safety of his home in Cana on a mission to find a man he believes is in Jerusalem. Miriam, Caleb’s only remaining child, accompanies him disguised as a boy. In the desolation of the war struck Galilean countryside, father and daughter risk their lives to journey south on the Jordan River trail. As they walk, Caleb intrigues Miriam with a captivating story of his youth that will change her future destiny. A story of a time forty years prior when he became a sandal maker in order to observe a man some called the Miracle Worker. Caleb secretly kept notes of the events he saw and heard as he followed the crowds. With his objective, skeptical point of view, he reveals the fascinating ministry of the one he called the “Master.” Heart pounding perils and the threat of death endanger the two travelers, but nothing could foretell the fate awaiting them in Jerusalem!From the PublisherA. 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.
I don't knowm, but when I figure it out I'll email you!
I have read all of her books, but only recommend the Tudor series. Her earlier series, Wildacre, is not as good and is in fact kind of creepy. I read them, but did not enjoy them.
I see you read The Virgin Lover. What did you think?Heidi
I checked it out from the library and am already on the next thing (Time Traveler's Wife). Thanks for the offer!
juanamom, hello! It's really great to find people that share the same interests. I've seen that you also love Paulo Coelho's books and it would be great keeping in touch... I invite you to join new Paulo Coelho's Group and discuss about your favorite books:http://www.shelfari.com/groups/11494/aboutHope to keep on talking to you! have a great day! aart www.paulocoelhoblog.com
I can't figure out how to respond to your note on my page, so I'll do it on your. I loved the Phillipa Gregory books I have on my shelf. I read them in the order she wrote them, which is not their order historically. I also read her earlier WiseAcre series which I would NOT recommend.
Just joined and am adding books I have read. Not sure how this works through.
Larson's other books aren't quite as good...I'm struggling through Issac's Storm. Thunderstruck was good though slow at times but I think part of the reason that I liked it was the science history.
