Destined to be a Christmas classic, The Last Magi is the story of Artaban, the fourth Wise Man, who leaves his betrothed, the beautiful Rasha, to follow his fellow Magi to Bethlehem. Arriving too late, he sets out to find the child born under the star. Years pass as Artaban chases wisps and rumors across two continents. Weary and impoverished, the last Magi refuses to quit his quest, even as time is running out.
Lifted me up!
I honestly felt that I was a constant & very close onlooker in this story! I could feel the sand swirling around me, it's grit in my mouth. Each story told by another traveler kept me alert, anxious, and excited! With each experience the Magi had.... the author made me feel that I was one with the characters. I was a character! Whether it be a suffering animal eager to please my master. Or a man drinking and playing games with other men. And believe me these are not activities that I would be an eager participant! Ugh and the raw odor of men was thick and real! This story was REAL and I will miss watching and playing my part !!!

E.A. Sharpe wrote an absolutely wonderful story that will
give you a lift and show what commitment to a goal will bring to you.
It is the story of a Magi who missed his fellow Magi on
their quest to find the child whom the star and prophecy spoke of. Yet he sets
out on his own, and through hardship, and delays he gives all he has to help
those in need along the way.
Years later he feels he is too late, but is he?
I loved this short book of Artaban’s quest to find Christ
and believe it is a story that is a great read at any time of the year,
especially at Easter.
