    Hi, Melissa. 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.


    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.

    Welcome to Better than Starbucks! Look around, make yourself at home, start a new thread or dig up an old one or just read and jump in on the more active ones.

    Well, I recommend you start with the Mage Storms series from Mercedes Lackey. Firestarter was good, too, though. Actually, they're all pretty good. LOL. Just run to the library, close your eyes and pick one. :)

    I'll always take ideas of who to read! :) As for sci-fi/fantascy books, have you ever read Mercedes Lackey? She's really good. So is Jennifer Robertson(sp?)--I need to check on her name though. I'll have to call my sister, because she has those books.

    Thanks so much !! (It's actually my husband's book though) Which makes it much better than if I had written it.

    The Midwest Book Review December critiques came out and we were pretty exciting because they said ... "A fast paced and riveting fantasy, "The Crown Conspiracy" is well worth reading.".
