Bozra: A Shepherd's Journey: A Journey to Jerusalem

I enjoyed reading Bozra. I learned a lot about the job and lifestyle of shepherds through this book. (I never thought about sheep stampeding.) I enjoyed reading the book and being involved in the story. The book made me think about scriptural references to how the 12 tribes were to encamp around the temple and tabernacle. I enjoyed how this little Shepard boy got to learn about how special the sheep were that he was raising. They were the sacrificial sheep. I enjoyed the story of the angels visiting the shepherds. I liked your twist to the story and how this little boy kept missing out on all the big events. This book kept me involved in the story. It took me about two days to finish. Even though I'm a slow reader, I could have finished it in one. This book holds suspense and a love story inside it. Various Jewish Feasts and ceremonies are described in story form. The ending of the book held a nice surprise for me. It didn't finish as I had expected. I liked the book very much. Thanks Mac!

Mac lifts us out of the modern busy world and with few words gives us pages of crisp and stirring language. He places us in the body and mind of a shepherd boy who misses the coming of Yeshua as he becomes a man who misses the passing of Yeshua as he becomes a father who . . . finds what has been left behind for all of us to love and embrace and cherish. It is a story of becoming. It is wonderful story for Easter.

I felt the rays of sun on my face, the mist in the air, the sand under my sandals, missed opportunities and then........Bozra is a wonderfully written story about the life of a shepherd. I felt as though I was living and experiencing every facet of Bozra's life. Mac McConnell has written such a compelling, wonderful story. You will feel all of the emotions, traditions and trials of a young shepherd boy. As I read the book I felt tears, laughter, goosebumps and amazement. Mac has truly written a superb book!!!! I will be adding Bozra to my collection along with Mac's other book, "Forever Changed". This book would make an excellent gift for your friends and family!!!!
