You witness a miracle, but life soon returns to normal. As you wait for the miracle to unfold, decades pass, yet that miraculous night forever changes your life.

Even a Shepherd is Aaron's story, who, as a small shepherd boy, experiences history's greatest announcement—the long-awaited Savior, the Christ, has been born in nearby Bethlehem.

Most of us have heard the Christmas nativity story in which an angel suddenly appears in the night sky to a small group of shepherds, announcing the great news. After rushing to the stable, the shepherds find the babe lying in a manger surrounded by his family and farm animals. After rejoicing at seeing the Holy Family, the herdsmen return to their flock. The shepherd's gospel story ends here, but let's imagine what life holds for the youngest of those shepherds.

Over the pursuing years, that young boy, Aaron, finds his life has been forever changed by that night. He knew he had a wait for Jesus to grow to become his Savior; but after three long decades, Aaron finds himself asking, "What was that night all about? Why is this taking so long?"

Even a Shepherd is a biblically based fiction that imagines and shares the gospels through the eyes and life of this one small shepherd boy--a story not yet told. As the listener follows Aaron's journey, they, too, will realize that in all of eternity, only Aaron and Jesus's mother, Mary, have experienced the entirety of Jesus's earthly life. From Jesus's birth, through his life, to his death and resurrection only they were there. Imagining Aaron's life interspersed with gospel stories, the author hopes the listener will have the scriptures come alive as they view Jesus's life through a new and exciting lens.
