Hi, Kev. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view, a little controversial at times. It’s a story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. A “must read” for those on a spiritual quest. You can read reviews at Amazon.com. I’m including here the publisher's notes. Let me know what you think.Book Description:In 70 A.D., a father and daughter risk their lives traveling through a war torn, Galilean countryside on a mission to reach Jerusalem, a fascinating journey that will change their destinies forever. Caleb, 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.
Just a note to let you know I enjoyed your review of Vernon God Little, which I have just finished. I felt about it the same as you did...wasn't too sure about it at first....was it really Booker material? However, I find myself thinking about it quite a bit even since I have finished it and on the whole I am glad I read it. Having taught in high schools, I thought the teenage dialogue was so authentic...likewise the bullying, etc. I would recommend it. I see you have read Life of Pi....one of my favorite books of all time....have you read The Blind Assassin? It is a Booker winner that was very deserving.
yes, I was at the core course at Grantham :) That's so funny!
Glad to see you haven't changed!! I read one of those humorous novels about vampires and I was "sucked" in! They are hysterical!
umm somehow i logged on into dennis' s page. so if you didn't realize that was from april
hey i am reading life of pi right now at your suggestion. dennis read it and really liked it, which i think you know cause i think you guys talked about it. anyway, thanks for the suggestion and i will be checking your books. april
