Not far from an ancient tower, believed to have been built by the
patriarch Jacob for his cherished wife, on the outer edge of
Bethlehem, lives an industrious Jewish family of eight. Busily
raising their five children, managing their prolific farm and a
growing flock of sheep and goats, Amon and Jedidah have recruited
everyone in the household to assist in the relentless inventory of
chores. Grandfather Elijah is the shepherd and has been enlisted to
train the children in the required pastoral skills, which he does
with finesse and compassion. The oldest son, Josiah, is the first
to venture forth with his grandfather and live as a nomad in the
wilderness of the Judean hill country in order to care for his
family's herd. The young boy not only becomes acquainted with the
skills of a shepherd and the ever present enemies of the flock, but
learns of an ancient prophesy foretold in Grandfather Elijah's most
prized possession; a very special, handwritten manuscript on old
sheepskin parchment.
