Star of Wonder
Setting: Israel & Egypt, circa 5 BC to 30 AD
Dobah’s lonely widowed life changes the night her cousin Yosef arrives with his wife, Miryam, and their newborn son, Yeshua. The baby was born under a brilliant light in the sky that could only have come from Adonai. With the arrival of the Magi from the East looking for the King of the Jews, Dobah knows her cousin’s son is blessed.
But along with the Magi comes warning of danger on the horizon. When Yosef receives a message from Adonai, he knows he and his family must flee. He advises Dobah that it would be best for her and her son, Levi, to leave as well. But they won’t be alone. Menes, the Magi’s guide, pledges to help and protect Dobah and Levi. Together, they will undertake a long journey of faith, love, and the promise of a better future for all mankind.
Reviews
“Travel to Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Egypt at the time of the birth of Yeshua, son of Miryam the wife of Yosef. If you lived in Israel under Roman rule, how would you respond when told that Yeshua was the Messiah? When Dobah, Yosef’s cousin, hears the news, she wonders and doubts. Her faith in God is challenged by what’s happening to her and around her. Her husband, Ethan, however, has seen the star and traveled with the Wisemen to visit the Messiah, and he’s convinced it’s true. An interesting work of biblical fiction.” — Online review
