** As featured on BBC Radio 4 this Christmas, narrated by Alex
Jennings ** Although we are all familiar with Joseph - from a
legion of retellings of the Christmas story - he remains, for many,
a shadowy figure about whom we know very little and who is rarely
given much thought, if any. This beautiful meditative fable,
imagined as it might be told by the archangel Gabriel, helps us to
understand who Joseph was and how he might have felt about the part
he was called to play in the Greatest Story Ever Told. Joseph and
the Three Gifts follows Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem, in
hiding in Egypt and a return to his carpentry in Nazareth as Jesus
grows from boy to man to messiah. And it asks what Joseph might
have done with the Magi's gifts of frankincense, gold and myrrh. A
wonderful story for all ages, perfect for Advent, Christmas, Lent
and Easter. The cover and interior illustrations for Joseph and the
Three Gifts are by Henry Martin, an artist, ordained Anglican
minister and author of Eavesdropping.
