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. "An epic quest for the greatest treasure of all.” Rev. Phil Moyers.
Full of Wisdom
This little book is full of more wisdom and soul than many thousand-page novels. It cuts to the chase and never lets you go. It is an absolutely absorbing account of a little-known event in the time of Christ, told with humor and dignity. He follows after Jesus to give him his gifts but keeps missing Him. At last he finds Him but he doesn't have any gifts. Then Jesus gets him to see that the greatest gift is the gift of love. This is a liberating book that made me want to stand up and sing. The other thing I want to say is that it is really a fun read.
