A Shepherds Story is a work of fiction based on the biblical record of the life of Jesus. The story, written in the first person, is narrated by an elderly shepherd whose life is heavily impacted by events that occurred during the years when Jesus walked the earth. It describes the joy of his early adulthood and the horror that follows as his firstborn is killed at the hands of a wicked king. His anger at God for allowing this to happen leaves him with a deep resentment and bitterness that clouds his later life. Driven by a need to find release from the prison of hatred that has enveloped him, he embarks on a pilgrimage to seek help from a prophet whose fame is spreading across the land. His ultimate victory comes when he discovers the power and love that resides in the person of Jesus, the Christ. He is driven, now, only to tell and retell his story to anyone who will listen. Short enough to be read in one sitting, A Shepherd's Story makes an ideal friendship, sympathy or special-occasion greeting, as well as an excellent gift for such Christian holidays as Christmas or Easter. This book will offer inspiration, encouragement and hope to all who read it, especially to those who are undergoing severe life trials, or who have lost a loved one to death.
