Wise Men Still Seek Him, or so the saying goes. This Christmas award-winning author and television personality Raymond Arroyo returns with his latest story in the “Legend Series” that is already topping the charts. In The Wise Men Who Found Christmas, children and families are invited to journey with the Wise Men on this enthralling adventure to find the newborn King.
Based on research, this alluring and endearing story by Raymond Arroyo is sure to become a family favorite and tradition.
Inspired by a prophecy and star in the sky, the Magi bravely embark on an arduous and precarious mission to follow the light. Readers will learn the true, never before told story of the Magi, as they make haste to greet the baby Messiah.
Told from the viewpoint of Melchior’s steed, children young and old will see how the Wise Men risk their lives to discover, protect, and share the truth. They even meet and later hide from the evil King Herod. Despite weariness, pain, darkness, and fear they press on to reach their goal.
On the way, the Wise Men encounter a shepherd who tells them what he saw and an angel in a dream. Confused about which path to take, they trust that the star will lead them. Mystified, they finally find Baby Jesus hidden in a humble home.
Mary greets them upon their arrival and awestruck they present their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Melchior holds the Lord of lords in his arms and pours out his heart to the Infant, who has a priceless gift for him.
The exquisite artwork by Diane Le Feyer reflects the majestic encounter of the Magi with the Savior of the world. The afterword includes historical information about the Wise Men–who they were, where they were from, and what the star actually was.
The Wise Men Who Found Christmas is the sequel to The Spider Who Saved Christmas. Other books in the series include The Thief Who Stole Heaven. View the majestic book trailer here.
“It is absolutely beautiful,” enthused Laura Ingraham, "The Ingraham Angle."
I am excited to share this thrilling story with the children and families in my life. Follow the light, go to the King, make haste to discover the truth!
