Daniel L. Gilbert

Magi: A Novel has the power to completely change how you think about the advent season. Join one of the original magi, Ramates, on an uncharted journey of revelation this Christmas. What begins as this hunter-priest's darkest day turns into a remarkable quest to discover the transforming truth of ancient prophecy. Ramates is compelled to follow a new luminary he has discovered in the night sky. He knows the ancient prophecies. He has heard of the Promised One. He must see for himself. Daniel Gilbert combines ancient history, detailed astronomy, and prophecy in this authentic tale of one of the original magi and his life-changing meeting with the new child king.

About the author: Dr. Gilbert grew up hearing lively renditions of Bible stories from his father and began his stargazing hobby when his own children were young. The Tennessee Wesleyan University professor combined his love of the night sky with more than a decade of historical research to write this novel.
