Star Song

A mad king drives his kingdom to desperation. Herod's throne is now threatened by a mere baby commoners call the God-King. Can they protect him from being killed? ..... Mary was too young, Elizabeth too old. Joseph too gullible, the shepherds too smelly. Anna too senile, Simeon too idealistic, Salome too flippant. The wise men should have minded their own business, Zechariah should have accepted he'd never have a son. King Herod dared control God, the Oriental scholars dared interpret God. ..... This is a lyrical novel with the reader allowed to give opinions. Also, at the end of each chapter are discussion questions, ancient historical records cited, and scriptures used as a basis for the story. At the end of the book are suggested chapter readings for special occasions. It also has a three-page bibliography of all books consulted while writing all eight volumes of "They Met Jesus". .This is not just a novel. It is much more. One lone star, enlarged with love, Led the unknown way To the Son who'd brought with Him Hope's redeeming ray. Compel YOUR eyes to venture high Above what seems so far. Soar with Mercy's omnipotence and Dare to be that star.
