A familiar, beloved rhyme scheme paired with a fresh perspective on the Christmas story, The Shepherd's Story provides readers with a profound experience alongside a courageous shepherd boy who is searching for meaning in life. Together with the shepherd, readers connect the birth of Christ with their own human experience, learning that one child--a single person--has the possibility of making an extraordinary difference in the world. In the loving arms of his parents, Jesus represents every newborn--and through the shepherd's eyes, parents and children alike recognize Jesus' promise of abundant life and infinite love. Come along with the curious young shepherd to explore the human and divine natures of the birth of Jesus--and through this shepherd's witness, discover the wonder, majesty, and promise of all human life.Author Biography
