I FINISHED MY BOOK just now on historical research! It’s 837 pages. Took me a year. It includes thousands of links on each chapter’s subject to every part of the world for more detailed discoveries. These are the chapters:

- Historians in Each Era of the World
- Birth Customs and Records [in each country of the world]
- Marriage Customs and Records
- Death Customs and Records
- Border Changes of Cities, Counties, States, Countries
- Census Records
- Tax Records
- Making Chronologies
- Newspapers
- Military
- Occupations
- Fraternities and Clubs
- Financial Institutions
- Finding Old Documents & Reading Old Handwriting
- Changing Neighborhood Makeups
- Bad Guys
- Good Guys
- Medical Knowledge
- Clothing
- Housing
- Disasters
- Families, Friends, and Fun
- Manners
- DNA
Now I need to run it through its first proof reading. That’s going to take a week. Maybe two. Then I’ll finish formatting and send it in to the printer. Then get a paper copy and proofread 2 or 3 more times.
It only took me a year. Whew. Don’t think I’ll tackle such a project again!
BTW, bible technically means book, and in today’s world it means the book that covers everything on its topic. But, if you have a better title idea…
You are AMAZING!!
Congratulations on finishing your book – – what a wonderful accomplishment!
God bless you as you write for the glory of God.
