This book includes three fictional stories that center around individuals commonly referenced in the nativity events in the Bible. By dramatizing specific characters, the stories show how these individuals exercise faith and perseverance to overcome obstacles and accomplish their own divine purpose.
The first story, "A Dove in Darkness," shows how Mary reacts to her divine calling and doubts her ability to raise Jesus. She worries about how Joseph will react when he discovers her condition and if he will understand his role in joining Mary to raise Jesus.
The second story, "Honey from the Rock," shows how a shepherd feels betrayed for fathering a daughter with a deformed leg. When he witnesses the angelic announcement, the first thought he has is to take his daughter to the child in hopes she will be healed.
The last story, "Star of Destiny," follows one of the wise men, Melchior, who is determined to find and worship the holy child even though his health is fragile, the weather is harsh, and many of his companions leave the caravan to return home. When he does find the Christ-child, he doubts this young boy could be the divine King foretold by scripture, but his doubts are proven wrong when he encounters the child who saves his life.
Hopefully, these stories will increase the reader's faith and help them understand the personal sacrifices each person paid to play their part in the divine plan.
