Public Notes

  • Mark H. Stevens

    Mark H. Stevens says

    Suffering from Sarcoidosis for over 10 years hasn't been easy. I have been so depressed at times I have wanted to kill myself, but the Lord has shown me a new way to deal with the pain, I don't take pain meds because I have a fear of addiction and I like to keep my mind clear. I use my pain as a motivator, I wake up in the morning and I talk to my pain, I get in my pain's "face" and I get up and minister to people in worst shape than me every day....I couldn't do this without the Lord's help! Jesus is my example, in the garden of Gethsemane Jesus struggled to...but the way He overcame was by accepting His destiny and obeying the Father.

    Hi, Dee Dee. 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 that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. I’m including here the publisher's notes from Amazon.com. Let me know what you think. The honor would be mine.


    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.

    Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’ve been entirely toooooo busy.

    Anywhooo, in your Black Romance group, we’ll be reading Protect and Serve by Gwyneth Bolton next and start discussing it on 10 Oct. Now go ahead and purchase Gwen’s book now, even if you plan on reading it late, because it is a Harlequin book and you know they can be difficult to find.
