Public Notes

    I would like to suggest reading THE ENDLESS HOUR- The True Story of a Haunted Soul.I completed publication
    in November 2010.

    Over eighteen years in the making,THE ENDLESS HOUR is about an illustration I created in 1988 that became
    reality two years later,which involves a spiritual death experience.

    This touching and terrifying true story is not only about me.It is also about... you.

    For more information go to theendlesshour.com. Once you enter the website you can watch the book video and
    read reviews. You may also want to visit amazon.com and read the first seven chapters of THE ENDLESS HOUR.

    Thanks,
    Jesse

    Thanks, has it been that long? Time is just flying and books make it seem so much faster as I fly from place to place in my mind.

    The History Non-Fiction Group is set to read The Linguist and the Emperor: Napoleon and Champollion's Quest to Decipher the Rosetta Stone by Daniel Meyerson for the Jul-Sep quarter. This book discusses the two men whose lives intersected over a love of all things Egypt and led to Campollion solving the mystery of the language on the Rosetta Stone. The book is fairly short - only 271 pages including the Author's Note at the end - and easy to read so it's a good book for the first ever quarterly read. Please join us if you're interested.

    Your FB post reminded me of it. Now that I have found a little more time to read, I feel that tracking my reading will be less depressing--I should be able to go through more than a book a year! ;)

    Hi, Katie. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view. A story will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. A “must read” for those on a spiritual quest. I’m including here the publisher's notes from Amazon.com. Let me know what you think.


    Book Description:
    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 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.

    Thanks so much for accepting my friend request. While I have you here, I was wondering . . . would you be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

    Thanks,

    The Reader is a little darker than some of the books you seem to read, but I think you would enjoy it.

    How's "The Mother Daughter Dance"? They don't have any reviews for it. Sounds like it would be good though.

    I'm good. I went to a bridal shower this morning and then a family party after that. Now I need to get working on my paper for school. Hope you will join my Laurie Notaro group!
