Bethlehem, six miles from Jerusalem, is comprised of simple folk who spend their days tending sheep, newborn lambs, and their own families. Among them—as guests of Zadok, Rachel, and their three little boys— are Mary, Yosef, and baby Yeshua, whose birth was announced by a miraculous conjunction of the stars and a throng of angels in the sheep fields. Convinced by their study of the stars and prophecies that the long-awaited Messiah has been born, foreigners travel toward Jerusalem. Surely the capital city of the Jews will hold the answer to the mystery they have sought for months. Tortured by nightmares that someone is coming to take over his kingdom, King Herod grows more paranoid. He gives an order to his soldiers—one more devastating and evil than anyone could imagine. That very night, soldiers and their mounts thunder toward Bethlehem, the village of the sacrificial lambs...

They're simple shepherds,
living a sparse existence.
Yet upon their obscure village will fall
