I am a reader. As a child I lived in Riverside, Illinois. We had the coolest library by the Des Plaines River. It had a children's library in the basement that had a stone floor and a huge fireplace. It was there I discovered reading and Nancy Drew. It has been a love affair to remember. Three of my children are on Shelfari carrying on the... more »

    Yes. I learned, among many other things, how to spot a loaded question.

    I have not read that yet. I will add it to my list. Right now I am reading A Quiet Belief in Angels. It is good.

    Nancy, I finally updated the books I have read so far for the year. Couldn't find a few of them, but most of my favorites are all there!

    I am sure you are right. I have been too busy to get started right now. Ivan has been taking up a lot of my time. He is such a treasure. Hopefully I will get on this soon!

    Hi, Nancy. 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 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.

    I hope a rainy day comes soon, becuse I have already read 72 books this year so it will take me awhile to get my list in order, but this might be the most efficient way to do it.

    If you like reading books, and I know you do, and if you like buiding dry-laid stone walls, and I suspect you might since you've certainly got the biceps, pectorals and deltoids for it, then you're gonna love "Dry Stone Walling." See my bookshelf for all the details. Hootin' hooty hoo!
