Hmmm not much to tell so I'll just write a bit for now and add more as I see fit.

I'll read just about anything but romance *gags a bit* it's just not for me. Not to say I haven't read the odd one, but I'd rather not. I enjoy crime drama true or fictional, although am drawn to true stories. I love researching things of a spiritual... more »

    Bev,
    I just read your post on Alex. I, too, have a husband who is not outwardly spiritual. He remains silent about his beliefs or lack thereof. When I push him to talk about it, he simply states, "I do not know, and I do not think that exploring as you do (I call it seeking; he calls it exploring) will come up with any answers so I don't bother." And, I, too, have thought at times that he is more advanced in this journey than I am. Who knows? I have come to the conclusion that I will be a seeker for my entire life; that is, that I will never eventually find exactly what this life is all about. But there's no harm in trying. ;-)
    Just wanted to share,
    Karen

    Hi, Bev. 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.

    Achieving a Grand Dream


    "You will achieve grand dreams, a day at a time, so set goals for each day—not long and difficult projects, but chores that will take you, step by step, toward your rainbow.

    Write them down, if you must, but limit your list so that you won't have to drag today's undone matters into tomorrow. Remember that you cannot build your pyramid in twenty-four hours. Be patient.

    Never allow your day to become so cluttered that you neglect your most important goal—to do the best you can, enjoy this day, and rest satisfied with what you have accomplished."

    ~ Og Mandino (1923 - 1996)

    Just a bit of advice learned from experience - when you add a book to you shelf be sure to TAG it (label it in some category) so you can organize your shelf and people can browse through your shelf more easily. I didn't figure this out until i added a couple hundred books, then had to cycle through them all again...ugh :P

    So glad you're enjoying the site - I really do love it. I'm in some great groups, too, when things calm down on your shelf check it out - you'd be welcome :) You might like The Alexandria Forum. I SO want to get the Kindle - it's my Christmas wish! I've been going on a recent True Crime reading jag but am having trouble finding good ones - any recommends? Check out my True Crime tag!
