Before I could read I would ask my father to read a story over and over till I memorized it and could tell it back to him. I quickly (once I could read) became enamored with the Bible and many other books at a young age. I proceeded to amass an enormous library of books I devoured.

    Hi, Matt. I am the author of The Sandal Maker. A new historical novel that will take you on a fascinating journey of how the gospel came to be. You can read the first chapter by going to the link below (copy and paste). Let me know what you think

    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.

    Matt,
    Sorry, I couldn't respond to you before.
    Study at Free University (VU) is quite demanding, I'm learning a lot of things.
    I have not yet grasped McIntyre's "After Virtue" or other writings, I'm still trying to grapple with the subjects.

    Now I'm reading an article by Fukuyama and another by Hungtington.

    You have a pretty intriguing collection.
    One can see books on Christianity, Islam, India and then suddenly there is a Calvin and Hobbes and Chronicles of Narnia :)
