Work continues on my book, Jesus Gets Hand-Me-Downs. So today, I’m sharing the plan for this “book.”
Jesus Gets Hand-Me-Downs has become too long for a book aimed at young readers. Therefore, I’m reinventing the chapters and making them small books that are easy to hold and within the attention span of younger readers while it is interesting to older readers. I’m planning on at least fourteen of these little books.
The first book, subtitled At the Well, is close to completion. It is approximately 3,000 words. The general theme is sharing, sharing our possessions, sharing our history, and sharing our faith.
In addition to the story, features in the book include:
Common Hebrew and Aramaic words with their meaning and pronunciation.
Information about the culture at the time of Christ’s birth.
The story of the founding of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Family structure.
Biblical history.
My biggest challenge is learning the skills necessary to put the book into a format where potential publishers and beta readers will see my vision for the books. I’m also being challenged by all the rabbit trails the research takes me on.
I’m looking forward to sharing the results with you.
Jesus Gets Hand-Me-Downs has come along way from the church Christmas play it started as. You rock.
