by Mark Cardona (Author), A. I. Wexler (Author)

Book Description:
Unique and creative, The Magi's Man is a reimagined narrative of the Messiah's birth, death, resurrection, and beyond through the lens of a dedicated Hebrew shepherd.

Eli is young, strong, betrothed and bound to the temple in Jerusalem as a descendant of the tribe of Levi. On his first journey to Bethlehem to deliver sheep for the Passover sacrifice, he hears the angelic announcement of the Savior's birth. He rushes to the location and finds the newborn and his parents. On his return to Bethlehem Eli witnesses the Magi present their treasures to their avowed king and is commissioned to keep them informed of the growth of the young Savior. As part of the covenant with the Wise Men Eli is presented with a clay enclosed scroll to be opened at a future date.

The young shepherd marries, grows into a man of influence and continues to inform the Magi of the Messiah's life, travels and miracles while remaining fiercely dedicated to his family. Through the years his life weaves in and out of many familiar biblical settings and characters. This inspirational tale explodes with amazing revelations including the incredible contents of the scroll he held for over thirty years.
