The eBook version of The Jefferson Bible for the 21st Century is now available on Smashwords in 10 different download formats!
There are minor formatting differences between this version and the eBook version on lulu.com – mostly related to the verse numbering system. It is also available on Scribd for a free preview read. Just click [...]

I've finally put the text editing of the eBook to rest, and the final first edition will be hitting the interwebs shortly, followed by the audio book as quickly as I can turn it around.  I still chuckle at myself because I thought this would be a fairly quick and painless audiobook to make, just [...]

Well, we're off to the races now.  The Jefferson Bible for the 21st Century! has been released as an eBook on scribd.com.  In the first 48 hours it has received over a hundred reads, so that's a pretty positive thing. I checked many other uploads at random and my results were far above the average (for [...]

The Jefferson Bible for the 21st Century is going to be published soon.  I need to (patiently, somehow) wait for the arrival of my proof copy before all systems are 'go'.  Then I can turn my attention to the audio book version, and get that rolling.

It's taking longer than I had originally anticipated, both because I go cross-eyed with [...]

It was going to be such a simple project. Really!  Just read this old book edited together by Thomas Jefferson, and then move back to Moby Dick.  It should have taken me a day or two.

But somewhere along the way I got sidetracked into re-creating the wheel.  I'm doing a paraphrased edition of the Jefferson [...]

The first draft of the update to the Jefferson Bible is sorta done. I have it routed to a couple of friends for feedback.

I'm actually considering doing a paraphrase of the scriptural text so that it is even more readable, but I've not decided anything completely just yet.  It shouldn't really take me that long [...]

I know I've been back and forth about this already.  But I'm doing something completely different from where I started.

The Jefferson Bible was originally an audio book project. As you can read in previous posts, it's challenging to read for an audio book! So,  I've decided that it still merits an update into something resembling [...]
