Bozra, The Shepherd's Journey

A shepherd boy, asleep on the job misses a big one. Angels. Angels announce the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem. Bozra begs off going to see for himself, hoping to prove himself a worthy shepherd. When he hears of angels, he begins to wonder, "What have I done?" This haunts him as he misses chance after chance, but along the way he meets the royalty who came to see too. He barely escapes the slaughter in Bethlehem and wonders if he will ever meet Yeshua. He never quits seeking and finally one day, some thirty years later, in the Holy City...but you will have to read the story yourself now won't you? See See excerpt from Bozra 

Hadad, The Innkeeper's Journey

He's known as the innkeeper but prefers barkeep. Although Hadad is thrilled with a packed inn and thirsty customers he is not the least bit interested in a knock on the door hours after closing. He knew it was a mistake to open the door. A dusty traveler, a droopy donkey and a very pregnant woman. "Follow me," he moans and leads out back to the barn. "A stinking stable, this must be a joke." Joseph protests. "Anyplace, Joseph, anyplace," Mary manages to say. The crusty barkeep bids goodnight, but begins to cherish this little boy and industrious family. Hadad fears the worst when soldiers massacre the baby boys. When rumors fly Hadad wonders if any of it matters at all. Will he seek the truth? Will you? See Excerpt from Hadad.
