About this title

Synopsis

At the dawn of time a new star was created. It was no brighter or more beautiful than any of the other stars studding the deep darkness of space. But this new star had a special purpose. It was there to announce the birth of a new king, a king whose life changed the world forever. The New Star follows the life of that star from its creation until it dies at the time when Jesus died on the cross. Of course, that was not the end of the story. Jesus rose again, the bright and morning star. Beautiful illustrations of stars and planets whirling through space appear on every spread. When one lifts the flap, the story of humankind and God's work with humankind appears from the Creation through the Resurrection.
