...When the enemy is right behind them, will they be able to stop his evil plan?
(It's really hard for me to write reviews for the books in this series, as they are so wonderful, and hard to describe.) :)
Jenny L. Cote has done an excellent job bringing the Biblical time to life, while adding fun characters and facts throughout the book.
I've read this book over and over again, and I never grow tired of reading this authoress' writings. Adding facts, fiction, and imagination leave this book a masterpiece. You find out about the different discoveries people made back then, from shapes and math to astrology. It is amazing reading about the different prophesies Christ fulfilled during His time here on earth just in His birth. The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star is definitely a must read.
Overall I would rate this book 10 out of 10 stars.
