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.
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.

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.
