A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 Stars
The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story by A.I. Wexler based on a concept by Mark Cordona, is an exciting and unique look into the long-awaited birth of The Messiah and so much more! This book has been written to display the glory of The Son of God, The Father, and Christ’s sacrifice for humankind. His death on a cruel Roman cross displays His great love for all humanity and the arrival of The Holy Spirit completes the New Covenant. Readers will not be disappointed with the content and deep symbolism, giving honor and glory to the One Who died for all.
Eli, a shepherd from the tribe of Levi, witnesses the angelic announcement of the birth of The Savior in the sacred area of Bethlehem. After experiencing the awe-inspiring announcement, he is witness to the gifts and offerings when presented to the young Messiah. The treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the Magi emphasizes the value of the child and Eli is ever faithful to honor his lifelong commitment recording events in the life of The Savior for the regal visitors.
Recounting the human side of the amazing birth, the author reminds readers that God worked and works through humble individuals. The author has woven a fictional account of Eli telling the Biblical story of the Savior’s life, giving full credence to scriptural concepts and principles. This personal presentation of the incredible birth and life of Messiah brings the glory of Heaven and Yeshua (Jesus), the Jewish Messiah, into the forefront for all to read and enjoy.
Each step and phase of Eli’s life unfolds the revelation of the Messiah, the promised King of Israel with a keen sense of detail. The author has a way of storytelling that seems to work into the reader’s soul. Filled with vivid descriptions, adventure, scriptural truths, and romance, one will discover the secrets of a well-kept clay encased scroll unveiled by Eli. The extraordinary parchment reveals wonderful facets in this gem of a story.
The Magi’s Man comes highly recommended and will quickly become a family favorite. It is a masterfully told epic tale of the mystery of the ages as revealed through the Bible and this telling of The Magi’s Man: A Shepherd’s Story will entertain and inspire.
This should become a classic!

Each morning and night contain a scripture, a prayer, a positive affirmation, and an image. Each page also has a place to write the date as you read and a place to write notes.
This is the all-in-one devotion that you need.
It is the most complete and comprehensive devotion written, from my point of
view.
No scripture, prayer or positive affirmation
is repeated. All the prayers and positive affirmations are unique to the scriptures
that they’re with. You will not be bored reading this devotion. It’s different
from any other devotion that you’ve read before. This is written in an
interesting and engaging style to get you reading each morning and night
without skipping a day.
This devotion starts from Day 1 and goes to
Day 365. This means that you can start using this book at any time during the
year. It’s not based on calendar year but rather YOUR year. This devotion will
give you the chance to somewhat read the entire Bible, or at least get you
close to doing that in 365 days.
This devotion tells the story of God and His
agape love for His most beloved creation…us. This devotion is written to be
read over the course of a year. However, if you find that you can’t wait to
complete it over a year’s time, then go right ahead and read it how you want to
read it. This devotion was written to assist you in living the best spiritual
and temporal lives that you can. It was also written to make you enjoy reading
the Bible and understand what it is about. This devotion is intriguing,
fascinating, and a page-turner.
Once you’ve finished reading this devotion,
you should understand who God is, why He did what He did for humanity, and what
we need to do to be saved. Also, it tells what will happen to the heavens, to Earth
and everything in it once God makes His appearance again to us.
This devotion is chronologically done, from
before the beginning of creation unto the end of it. The entire story of the
children of Israel is chronologically told from all the books of the Old
Testament. The chronological story of Jesus Christ is also told. It also tells
of the apostles who took over spreading the Gospel after Jesus left Earth. All
the books of the New Testament are used to write about Jesus and His apostles.
To make reading this devotion more interesting, suspenseful, and exciting, the
story of the Israelites and the story of Jesus Christ are intertwined. However,
they are still easy to follow.

you can have the best of both worlds.

Christopher D. Stanley, a New
Testament scholar who specializes in the social and religious history of early
Christianity, brings the world of Paul and the early church to life in his new
historical fiction trilogy, “A Slave’s Story.” Read on to see how
you can win a free Kindle copy of the first book in the series!
The first two books, A Rooster for Asklepios and A
Bull for Pluto, follow the lives of two men at opposite ends of the social
structure, a slave and an aristocrat, as they journey across first-century Asia
Minor (modern Turkey) in a desperate quest for healing. The third
book (not yet written) will take the main characters to Israel in the years
leading up to the Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66-73
AD.
Religion—Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian—plays a vital role
in the series as Stanley paints a realistic and historically accurate picture
of the competition that the apostle Paul faced as he sought to spread the
message about Jesus in a pagan culture. Along the way, he helps
readers to see how odd Christianity appeared in a world where the worship of
many gods was woven into every facet of life and the idea of a Jewish Messiah
bringing salvation from sin and judgment was a foreign
concept. Through this carefully crafted and engaging story, readers
will gain a solid understanding of why some people accepted and the majority
rejected what to them was an odd new religious cult.
Countless other aspects of life in the Roman world are vividly
illustrated in this fascinating and well-researched series that is receiving
five-star reviews on Amazon from both scholars and ordinary
readers. The reviews, which include more information about the
contents of the books and their relevance for early Christianity, can be viewed
