    I don't get to read to many books. I am too busy setting up my business. Hopefully I will get more business soon.

    Hi, Charles. I am the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus. A book that will take you on a fascinating journey of how the gospel came to be. You can read the first chapter by going to scribd.com and searching for the title. 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.

    Hi,

    I have two on there now. I will have to figure all this out when I get time. This is really cool. I have a very special author I am working with and I need to get his book ready for print. I will check back when I have him squared away. :)

    We are a praying family! We never mind extra pray - ers. :-) Surgery to remove a couple of nasty lymph nodes was yesterday and went great. Weekend in MI for the nephew's wedding was also wonderful. Just now coming up for air. Presently struggling thru OWow (my nickname for the Oscar Wao book) - my reading group is reading it for meeting Aug 18 or I'd probably set it aside. I do recommend the Beryl Markham volume tho. But truth be told, I've knitted more than I've read for the past week - I can carry on a conversation while knitting! :-)

    Not in ages. Ages. Might have to add her to my list. The problem is the stack presently sitting in my 'reading nest' is enormous - trying to read 6 in the next 2 weeks. I'll be off, in the air part of the time, at the hospital with my dad part of the time - expect to read Alexandre Dumas, Simon Winchester, Beryl Markham, and the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (for my reading group), among others.

    Bees is one of my alltime favorites. (Not on my shelf because I had to draw the line somewhere - shelfari shelf is 2007-2008.) I've read a lot of Nicholas Sparks; is Walk the one with the teen with cancer? Sweet. I loved Notebook. I always have a couple or more going at once. I'm on the road a lot so there's always an audio in progress. And there's always a To Be Read in the car in case I get stuck in a waiting room somewhere without my current read, or knitting project. One of the women in my reading group owns a used/rare bookstore - so like you, I read a lot of used (gently, usually) books. I think I can get afford a better volume that way. I get my audio from audible.com, download and burn to CD. (iPod on my wishlist right now - then I will d/l and put it on the pod!) And while I'm always interested in what's new . . . I read the not-so-new as well. One of my favorite reads in the last couple of years was the Scarlet Pimpernel - written in . . . what? 1905 or thereabouts? You know, one of those titles I had always heard, but didn't know a thing about.

    A little slow - I had to stop and knit some baby booties for a friend! And I'm within 30 pages or so of finishing Love in the Time of Cholera so read a little on it last night - I am not loving this book . . . that everyone said I would. I got into the Tesla biography after finishing The Invention of Everything Else which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just amazed that his is not a household name. Haven't had time to look - anything new on your shelf?

    Sure. I'm pretty conservative, Christian, divorced (a long time); I do not discuss politics, except to say that I don't believe Pres Bush is responsible for everything that is wrong today; I work in the big bad oil & gas biz and I use reuseable grocery bags and conserve fuel and electricity; I am old enough that I no longer care much for self-help books. If you still want to be friends, I won't say no. I'm still interested in locating your book.

    I googled 'a step of faith' and many, many entries - care to give me a link, a publication date, or a last name? RR
