For readers of my blog, I apologize. It's been a rough year and a half. But things are finally looking up, even in the book department.
Christ and the Samaritan Woman at the Well
by Angelica Kauffman
I have been working on a new book for quite a few months. The new title is "I Walked With Jesus: New Testament Stories of Faith & Healing from the Least of These." The book is filled with stories from the time of Christ. Many of those who had an experience with Jesus had only a line or two written about them. Others didn't even have a name attached to the experience.
All walked with Christ.
The interesting thing about this book is the freedom I had in writing these stories. I have done quite a bit of studying of the scriptures and the time period, but have had room to create the character behind the story because there was so little written about them.
If you have viewed The Chosen, you will find my stories similar in nature to what has been produced by Angel Studios. You will see the woman at the well, not just at the moment she meets Christ, but, long before that, when she marries for the first time. You will see how Malchus's life is lived before his ear is cut off at the gate to the Garden of Gethsemane and the healing takes place. You will see the centurion who finally saw Christ as he died on the cross, not through accident, but because of what he'd experienced before that moment. "Truly, this was the son of God" came because he was prepared to receive the message.
The book's new release will be in September of 2021 before the writer's conference listed below.
On September 25, 2021, there will be a mini writer's conference at the American Fork Library. The keynote will be given by Douglas and me and is titled: "What COVID has taught us about creating a great book." We have all learned from COVID, and my husband and I are no exception. I am a better writer, and we are better publishers because of it. Come and see what we have learned.
The event begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. Expect workshops, a Q&A opportunity, and a book signing to end the day.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT.
