Public Notes

  • A. Michaelson

    A. Michaelson says

    Hi, Maria. I am the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus. You can read the first chapter by going to scribd.com and searching for the title. I am 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.

    The DNA of Relationships is a good one. I actually featured Gary Smalley in my last book called, My Favorite Christmas. He's a sweet man and shared a beautiful story with me. Have a great day! ~ Amy

    Hi Maria! Thanks for accepting my offer of friendship. I noticed that you are a fan of "Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul." I've written a similar book series that you might enjoy. "How Do You Know He’s Real: Celebrity Reflections on True Life Experiences with God" contains 34 real-life stories by celebrities who know God is real because of their personal relationships with Him.

    "How Do You Know He’s Real: God Unplugged," the second book in the series is a collection of profound real-life journeys and dramatic encounters with the living God by young athletes and musicians. Being famous doesn’t make their lives perfect; these celebrities still struggle with the same issues that most young people deal with... insecurity, anger, peer pressure, addiction and self-esteem.

    You can read excerpts and see the lisdt of participants on my website, www.amyhagberg.com.

    Looking forward to getting to know you!

    ~ Amy

    I know! I'm rather overwhelmed with the number of friend invites from total strangers. It's not spam... it's just a smothering degree of friendliness ;-)
