(More customer reviews)This was a real page turner and kept me fascinated throughout. This is the Jesus I know!!! and fell in love with him even more than I already had. The historical references to the fall of Jerusalem were spellbinding, and very accurate. What an exciting time. I couldn't wait to get back to it each time I had to put it down, and so I took it everywhere I went (and it isn't a small book). I think The Sandal Maker deserves to be on anyone's best seller lists and should be taken seriously in the arena of Christian Fiction, as well as Biographies of Jesus.
A. Michaelson has written a very well crafted story with profound meaning and life changing implications. For a first book this is impressive to say the least. Tell all your friends. This should be on the best books of 2009.

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 captivatingstory 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 couldforetell the fate awaiting them in Jerusalem!
