Some Days Are Diamonds is a retelling of 12 stories of the life of Jesus, taken from the New Testament accounts. The stories are told from a different perspective from that of the Gospel writers. For example, Zacchaeus tells his own story and the Centurion relates the story of the Crucifixion.
The entire book is held together by the ongoing stories of a fictitious couple named Anna and Micah who were part of the 70 followers mentioned in the Bible as being a loyal and regular group that followed Jesus throughout the three years of his ministry on earth.
Testimonial"I finished your book the night before last and want to thank you for it. I enjoyed it very much, especially the third section of each segment. That part was the 'newest' to me, of course. It brought the era and events to life in a new way. I believe that good 'fiction' recreates the truth vividly and your book certainly does that."
