Vonetta G

As a child, I did absolutely nothing but read, read, read, and read some more. Adults pleaded with me to if anything, at least go outside to read just to get me out of the house. Reading to me is a supreme escape followed closely by music. I am primarily a reader of fiction and will dabble into non-fiction really only upon the suggestion of... more »

    I think I told her about it before. She is a very avid reader, but is not into the social networking thing. Phooey on her!!! I'll mention it again.

    Hi Vonetta. 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.


    Product 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.

    Hey, Vonetta. You asked if you should read The Shack. I read it. I loved it. I have also heard the author speak. The weekend that the main character spends at the shack in the book represents eleven years of Paul Young's life. His insights into God's character are amazing, as is his deft handling of the relationship inside the Trinity.

    I tell all my friends that they should read this book, but I warn them -- as I will you -- to be prepared to slap some barbecue sauce on your sacred cows. Girl, you're from Atlanta -- you can so do barbecue sauce! Seriously, the book will answer questions you didn't even know you had.
