Reviews

"Truly lovely illustrations in soft tones capture the reverent atmosphere and the sense of an ancient time and place." â "Kirkus Reviews

"Barbara Brown Taylor has a way with words. She has long been known for the eloquence of her sermons and books for adults, her ability to delve into a biblical text and to carefully examine and uncover the deeper meaning, layer by layer. In Home by Another Way, Taylor brings her skills to the world of children's literature. This delightfully fresh and creative story follows the journey of the wise men as they follow the light of a mysterious star that leads them to a small town town in the Middle East, and to an unlikely newborn king. The wise men bring the child their expensive gifts, but they are the ones who leave all the richer with gifts they could never have foreseen. Their lives are forever changed by the holy baby who will end up upending the world."

â "Kathleen Long Bostrom, award-winning childrenâ (TM)s book writer of What Is God Like? and Stories from the Bible
