Melchior S Tale

In his golden years, Melchior has settled into a calm, steady existence, ready to live out the rest of his days in peace to soon face the God of his fathers. What he didnt expect was the biggest calling his long life had ever experienced! Word to the Wise: Melchiors Tale follows the journey of an aged Magi called to witness the coming of the Messiah long promised to his people. Coming from Hebrew descent and taught in the learned Magian art, Melchior struggles with a sign from the heavens and his aged body as he prepares to answer this obvious call from his God. What Melchior finds is that he will not be alone on this journey. Joined by his faithful and young servant Othniel and a lost teenage Roman named Stephanus, the journey of the ages begins as all of life ebbs and flows; with a death and a birth. These events and the message of the star drive the elder Magi into an adventure that will challenge both his failing physical stature, and his faith in God. Come along, as Melchior begins his last great quest to see what God is about to do for, not only Judea, his homeland, but for the world!

"[...]lively as any of them, a young monkey, the worst of all; who was always in mischief, and consorting with the low boys in the village; though Melchior did not fail to tell him that he was not fit company for gentlemen's sons, that he was certain to be cut when he went to school, and that he would probably end his days by being transported, if not hanged. There was the second brother, who was Melchior's chief companion, and against whom he had no particular quarrel. And there was the little pale lame sister, whom he dearly loved; but whom, odd to say, he never tried to improve at all; his remedy for her failings was generally, 'Let her do as she likes, will you?' There were others who were all tiresome in their respective ways; and one after the other they climbed up. "'What are you doing, getting on to my bed!' inquired the indignant brother, as soon as he could speak.[...]".
