Publisher's summary

The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star launches the Epic Order of the Seven series, picking up where The Amazing Tales of Max and Liz left off.

The Maker has been building a team of animal friends for thousands of years to be his envoys for pivotal points of history. With this new, critical mission, the team will finally be completed by Messiah and known forevermore as the Order of the Seven. A talking, musical scroll, a pigeon-flying-and-camel-driving mouse, a writing cat, a courageous lamb, and two lion-fighting dogs provide nonstop action in this adventure that brings the Christmas story to life as never before. You will be astounded at the accuracy and perfection of the prophecies and God's unfolding plan to bring Jesus into the world. The 700-year mission begins long before the Nativity, as animal friends Max, Liz, Al, Kate, and Nigel work with Isaiah, who prophesies about the coming Messiah. The team intervenes with the Assyrians that threaten to take Jerusalem and prove Isaiah's prophecies false. They go with faithful Daniel and friends into the Babylonian captivity for the heart-pounding thrills of the fiery furnace and the lions' den. They meet Gabriel as he appears to Daniel and hide a secret scroll of prophecy for the wise men to someday discover as they study the Star. The book climaxes with the unfolding Christmas story as the animals once again see Gabriel with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds.

Experience the hardships of Mary and Joseph as they obediently accept their calling to parent Messiah. Joyfully watch God provide for their every need through a lovable Jewish rabbi who dares to believe them and an unlikely Roman soldier who protects them. The shepherds and the wise men never know their steps are guided by these small animals that lead them to baby Jesus. Relentless in his pursuit is the evil lion, who seeks to devour them and stop the unfolding events leading to Messiah's birth.

Brilliant in every way

These books are so well researched and historically accurate and the author paints such vivid word pictures that I can picture every scene as it plays out.

I like everything in this book especially Jesus’s brith.

The book was great! Jenny has really outdone herself because every single detail of it was almost perfect. If things could be perfect, this would be perfect.

HIGHLY Recommend this and the whole series!!

I have listened to each of the books in this series that our talented Denny Brownlee has recorded for the author Jenny L Cote and Audible. The stories are wonderful. Jenny L. Cote weaves Biblical stories about God’s people and historical facts around some very entertaining and gifted animal characters. Her knowledge of the Bible, historical events and wonderful imagination, and of course her delivery of these in the written word is amazing.
Denny’s God-given talent of bringing Jenny’s words to our ears is equally amazing. After listening for just a few minutes, you will think that there is a cast of 30 or more in the recording studio. No, It’s just Denny who speaks with accents from Scotland, England, France, Middle East, Africa and so many more. The speed and fluency in which he does these conversations is breathtaking.
Besides the Biblically based books, the series continues into the founding of America. Jenny makes these historical events so much more fascinating than they were in my grade school history books!
The eight book (so far) series is available on Amazon and I do recommend having the paperback copies to refer to. But to really get involved in the stories, you HAVE TO HEAR DENNY, so go to Audible and download the 5 books that he has recorded. You will not be sorry.

Not Great Narrator

This book has several characters of both genders with accents. This is the reason I bought an audio book—my kids wanted to hear the accents much better than I could. Unfortunately, the reader is not much better than I am. And his female characters all sound the same. Even though one is French and the other is Scottish or something.
