"What would it be like to witness the birth of Jesus Christ? Who
were the shepherds chosen to greet him on the night of His birth
and why were they so special? Where was the actual site of His
birth? Did Jesus Christ marry and did He father childen? A
Shepherd's Tale, answers these historic questions while portraying
them in a story of endearing characters.There have been many
Christmas stories written over the past years, many fanciful and
based on fictional circumstances. What makes this story so
fascinating and different is that it is written as a historical
novel with the description of place, time and circumstances based
on fact. Samuel is a simple shepherd, but the flocks he cares for
are very special. He is the head shepherd of the Temple Flock at
Migdal Eder or the Watchtower of the Flock. Migdal Eder is located
southeast of Bethlehem on the rolling hills outside the little
village of King David's birth. The site was named long ago by
Micah, the prophet, who proclaimed it would be the place where the
advent of the Redeemer would be announced. It is here, where the
story takes place as told through the eyes of an old man who has
seen much pain and unhappiness in his life. Once a wealthy and
powerful man, Samuel loses his family, his home, his wealth and
powerful position in Jerusalem. He becomes a bitter, drunken man
living on the streets of Bethlehem, when a wise old grouch
befriends him and gives Samuel insight into life's greatest
lessons. Only through devotion to friends and sheep, does he find
true happiness. Through Samuel's eyes we get a firsthand and more
accurate account of the beginning of the greatest life ever lived.
With "A Shepherd's Tale," comes a new perspectiveof the Christmas
Story, rich in the history and culture of Judea and vivid and fresh
in the details of the time of Herod the Great. If you are looking
for a great holiday story to read as a family or a quick enjoyable
read by the fireplace this is it." Brad Thompson, author of
Excellence in Music.
