Summary
A young man orphaned as a baby sets off to discover the truth about the circumstances of his birth, the fate of his parents, and his heritage. Having been raised in a culture where bloodlines mean everything, he seems forever condemned to live as an outsider on the fringes of society until he discovers his true heritage.
His only clue is a cryptic message on a lambskin blanket about a child born in a stable in Bethlehem. Who is this mysterious child? And what could such a child have to do with his own birth and destiny?
The answers will change his life forever...and maybe yours.
REVIEWS:
We so enjoyed The Shepherds' Prayer. I read it out loud to everyone as we traveled over Christmas. It is a wonderful story with suspense and warmth. My sister read it to her family as well. I'll keep it in my Christmas box and it will become another tradition. Thanks and congratulations on a great story!
I rate this short book a 10 because it has given me a whole different outlook on the nativity. Every Christmas we put out our nativity. We see these sweet shepherds there to adore Jesus, and then we move on in our thoughts. This story helps me to understand that God always asks for suffering to bring about the great things in his kingdom. Knowing that the shepherds suffered gives the little nativity a passion that I couldn't see before.
This book is a blessing to me. Thank you. It made me think more of what the town of Bethlehem went through. Also, I felt the theme of seeking the truth throughout the book. It was probably a challenge to write a novel situated so long ago. Therefore, the thoughts of modern men are pervasive in the book. But then again, people/readers will relate better in their own quest of seeking the truth or meaning in life. May God bless you and use this book to draw many to him.
