There’s been a buzz online about a press release for the book “Caleb’s Journey” by Sidney Phelps Little

In the literary world, media coverage reigns supreme as a marketing tool for new releases. While conventional methods have their place, a well-crafted press release can be the key to unlocking a wave of media attention.

Press releases serve a far greater purpose than simply announcing your book’s arrival. They act as a strategic instrument to spread the word and strategically reach your target audience. Imagine a press release as a captivating invitation, enticing journalists and reviewers to delve deeper into your book’s story.

Sidney P. Little’s “Caleb’s Journey” was recently displayed by Citi of Books last April 20th and 21st, 2024, at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) at the University of Southern California. It is one of the world’s most significant literary gatherings.

“Caleb’s Journey” by Sidney Phelps Little is a historical novel about the siege of Jerusalem. This epic novel of historical fiction focuses on a man named Caleb, an elderly Jewish and devout follower of the nascent Christian faith, from the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. to the rebirth of faith in Philadelphia, his first encounter with John the Baptist, and the crucifixion of Jesus. It provides a vivid portrayal of the early Christian experience amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Roman conquest.

About the book:

“Caleb’s Journey” is the story of the life of a man who was born a Jew and personally watched Jesus from a distance before seeing Him crucified and buried. Caleb goes on to tell us of how he was captured by soldiers of Rome and because he spoke and understood their language, he was used as an interpreter and, therefore, became a witness to the destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem.

His life was thrown into chaos, which led him to get separated from his grandson, Abram. Despite the devastation, Caleb clings to his faith, using his knowledge of the scriptures to navigate the brutal politics and desperation of a city under siege. Sidney P. Little’s book is an enduring story of perseverance, struggle, and faith written for Christians and lovers of history.
