Jerusalem is under Roman rule and King Herod will stop at nothing to keep his position of power. Upon hearing that a new king will soon be born, he seeks to find and kill the child.
Can a small group of animals with seemingly insurmountable differences save the newborn king? Can they find the holy child before King Herod finds him?
Join this unlikely band on an adventure of a lifetime. Follow Baruch, the mongrel, through the crowded streets of Jerusalem, scurry with Timothy, the timid mouse, down the terrifying halls of Herod's palace, fly with Yonah, the dove, to the pinnacle of the temple mount, and walk with Heber, the humble donkey, on the dangerous road to Bethlehem.
Stand by them as they face their worst fears. Witness their surprise as they discover something quite unexpected, something none of them ever imagined possible.
Written for all ages, In Search of the King promises to warm the heart.
I enjoyed reading this book. I felt the author was able to give the animals life that helped them journey into the heart of the reader. The descriptions of the scenery made me feel as if I were in Jerusalem. The Williamson family definately has talent. Thanks Annell!
I know the author personally and, to know that she has this kind of talent inside of her? WOW! I had no IDEA Annell was so talented but, I will support any other works she proposes to publish because I SO enjoyed "In Search of The King"! What a terrific story - not just for the Christmas season but, for everyday reading! WAY TO GO ANNELL!! This book is a must for families with children of all ages - read it together and celebrate the Season! Looking forward to your next book, Annell!!
I loved this book. The events leading up to the birth of our Savior are so detailed and told so beautifully by the animals portrayed in the story. Reading this book would be a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season. I think it is a book for all ages. It is a very light read. I enjoyed the book very much.
This book if one of the best I have read. There are a lot of messages that can be learned and applied to our lives. I felt like I was with the animals as they went on their journey. I can identify with some of the animals at some time or another. I recommend this book to everyone.
This is from a letter written to me by Mary, and with her permission, I'd like to share it... "What a marvelous story! The characters are so believable and bring the story to life. They will inspire you, amaze you and will win your hearts as they journey in their search. It is not a children's book although they can read it and understand it's true meaning. Read it. Love it."
