Urban Monk

Urban Monk

I am a Husband, Father, Son, Brother, and Friend. I am one made in the Image of God, and it is my daily goal to grow in that likeness through communion with the Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit. It is my hope that by me reflecting the Image of God, that others will recognize they too were created to bear that Image as well.

    Good to see you back; I noticed you were off Shelfari for awhile. Read anything good over the summer?

    Hi, Urban Monk. 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:
    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.

    What up kid, how are you enjoying these books you have put on here. The Parable joints specifically. I have finished that Thomas Oden book I was telling you about it was quite a spiritual shaping of student ministry. To think it was written in 1964 was amazing, I can't say that it was timeless, but that it reached beyond its time, and I belive it was not implemented in its time which makes it appropriate and relevant in our time of fundamental foundational laying and building.

    Peace

    Thanks for accepting the invite! I took another look at your shelf and was again struck by the variety of Orthodox & eastern Christian titles you've got out there -- balanced by so many of the Catholic titles that I'm familiar with. I'm reading a book now that I'm sure you'd be interested in, judging from your shelf: Michael Novak's "No One Sees God." Have you read it? On similarities, Novak has this to say in his preface: "We are not so different from one another that we have nothing to learn from every human we chance upon." It's an excellent read.
