I love reading. And there's something about opening a new book that makes me smile.

I am trying to make time each day to read. And I am vowing to read more and watch TV less.

I always have a book with me...just in case!

I welcome any new reading suggestions. more »

Public Notes

  • The Ancient One

    The Ancient One says

    What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet
    once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks
    where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes,
    or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble
    and roll and climb in riotous gladness!
    - Helen Keller

    Hi, Mimihays. I am the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus. You can read the first chapter by going to scribd.com and searching for the title. I am 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.
