Who were the shepherds that were singled out from among earth's inhabitants to hear the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth? What made them so special, or what uniquely qualified them to be His first witnesses? The Bible tells us very little about them. Now there is an answer!

Eleazar grows up awash in a culture of shepherding, but not among ordinary sheep. No, the flocks he and his companions tend are destined for sacrifice on the altar of the great temple at Jerusalem. Like his fathers before him, his life's work fuels the faith of a nation that tirelessly awaits the signs of their long-foretold Messiah. But unforeseen circumstances lead Eleazar away from his purposeful existence and onto a path of doubt and life-altering decisions that threaten to destroy both his faith and his future. Only the miraculous events of the Christ Child's birth can reclaim him and restore to him to a life of hope and peace—and to an understanding of his importance as a shepherd in Israel.

Lost Shepherd is a tale of hope and redemption, of faith lost and reclaimed. In it you will find new appreciation for the symbols of Christmas, and a deeper kinship with those whose obscure lives were so central to the Nativity story. As you read, Lost Shepherd will wisk you away to another time and place, helping you see Jesus' birth in a new light, even as it renews your faith in His miraculous power to heal every human heart!
