Book: Janus in Nicea
Quite a milestone was reached last week when I published my book, Janus in Nicea. I had started the blog "Pokey Finger of God" some years ago when I realized that the state of my study of Early Church history was such that it needed a home away from Live Journal. After continued work in it, I received a great number of responses from friends who urged me to write a book.
Well, after three years of work, here it is.
Writing a book is a lot of work. I think if I had realized how much work it was, I might not have started. However, I’m very pleased with the results. Readers of this blog (and especially, my Pokey Finger blog) may recognize some of the essays in my book, but there is still more than enough novel material to make the read worth it.
Please note that, in addition to the fine paperback version of the book, that you can also download an ‘e-copy’, suitable for your tablet readers (and a 1/4th the price of the paperback), and get to reading right away.
I’d like to take a minute to thank my wife and daughter for their patience with me while I worked on a seemingly interminable project. I’d also like to recommend lulu.com for anyone who wants to publish a book, calendar, CD, DVD, magazine, or brochure. The site is very easy to use with lots of helpful documentation everywhere. Projects are free to set up and are generated ‘on-demand’, so only the copies needed will be made, so there’s no huge overhead or remainders to deal with.
