I recently read Joan Sowards' latest novel, The Star Prophecy
. At first, I didn't know what to make of it. Then as I continued to read, I found myself thinking, "Hey, this could have happened like the author 
imagined!" I'm still wondering if anyone really knows the identity of certain individuals.The Star Prophecy
is fascinating, and well written. It's a great combination of adventure and romance, and full of interesting detail relating to the time period. I shook my head at a couple of incidents, but these in no way detracted from my enjoyment of a fast-paced and absorbing story. The Star Prophecy is much more than a Christmas book, and I recommend it for reading any time of the year.From the back of the book:
“You are crazy. No Nephite has ever returned.”
Most people laugh when they hear of Enoch’s dream of returning to Jerusalem to find the infant Messiah. Even Enoch's future father-in-law mocks him when he asks for a postponement of the long-awaited wedding to his beloved Rebekah. A few take Enoch seriously—the shipbuilder Omnihah, Enoch's teacher David, and Nephi the prophet.
Five years previously, a Lamanite named Samuel had stood on the wall of Zarahemla and prophesied that “five years more cometh” and the Christ would be born in Jerusalem. Time is running out! Enoch knows he must set sail across the great waters in search of his dream—to see the face of the Messiah.
The Star Prophecy is a surprising story of courage and love, faith and fortitude. Sail with Enoch and friends across the sea through hardship and adventure in search of the Christ Child.A review:
"I love Joan Sowards' inventive mind. She begins this adventurous tale with 'what if?' and tells it so well that the reader closes the book thinking 'why not?' The Star Prophecy adds a surprising new dimension to the Christmas story." --Liz Adair, author of Counting the CostFor more information about Joan Sowards and her work, please click HERE.
