Book Description

A New Christmas Classic:

The greatest story.
The greatest love.
The greatest night.

THE GREATEST NOEL: A Fantasy of the First Christmas vividly reimagines the Gospels' Nativity story through the eyes of Sandar the Builder, a Nazareth businessman who is tortured by the uncertainty of his life's purpose. His journey to Jerusalem to court the beautiful but difficult Susannah takes a dramatic turn when he rescues an enigmatic but strangely wise girl named Mary and her betrothed Joseph from murderous robbers and protects them the rest of the way to Bethlehem, the village where they insist she must bear her firstborn for reasons they are reluctant to reveal. In a journey to the manger full of danger, miracles, and romance, Sandar comes into his spectacular destiny in the novel's stunning final scene.

Along with Mary and Joseph and their new friends, all the characters and images from the Gospels make their way to Bethlehem for that world-changing night: the Wise Men; the Innkeeper; Herod and his guard; Angels, of course; the Star; and some Shepherds you do not want to mess with.

And all along the way, the natural world itself keeps an eye on their heart-stopping journeys.
