"Franciscan virtue is to follow the Providence of God, and God's Providence goes as far as you go. Now that's the scary thing about it. If you don't go, He won't go."

MYSTERY OF THE MAGI - THE QUEST TO IDENTIFY THE THREE WISE MEN
For many scholars, there is no reason to take the "wise men from the East" story seriously. Are they right? In an astonishing feat of detective work, speaker and author Fr. Dwight Longenecker makes a powerful case that the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem really happened. Piecing together evidence from biblical studies, history, archaeology, and astronomy, Fr. Dwight uncovers where they came from, why they came, and what might have happened after eluding the murderous King Herod. The Mystery of the Magi demands a new level of respect for the Gospel.
What are the true circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ? What was Bethlehem like at the time of Jesus’ birth, and why was the little village so important? How did Joseph and Mary meet, and why did they travel to Bethlehem?
This little book sheds new light on an old, old story, deepening its beauty and enriching your Advent and Christmas celebrations for years to come.
