The Shepherds' Story: A Different Trip to Bethlehem
Paperback
(Independently published Dec. 4, 2017)
Shepherd Boy, Barnabas, and his twin sister, Phoebe, think their lives have ended when their father dies and their step-uncle Andreas puts them to work in his Cypriot household as slaves under his nasty steward, Dimitrios. But Andreas is a trader and hears about an 'opportunity' near Jerusalem where he can sell flocks of sheep and he needs Barnabas' expertise. On the journey they are joined by red-haired slave, Torna, and Alex, a young sailor on Andreas' ship. The journey to Jerusalem is eventful and in their many adventures Barnabas meets not only pirates but justice, Roman style! They finally manage to deliver the flock to a buyer but then find that they've lost the prize ram and a few ewes. This leads the twins to Bethlehem and a stable where an awe-inspiring baby lies in a crib. They live in harsh times and Herod's spies are everywhere; their return journey is every bit as eventful - particularly as they have to try and outwit both Roman and Herodian soldiers.
