What People Are Saying

“I immediately loved the artwork in this book. But then I read the story and was even more in awe. I am so moved by the shepherd’s desire to see the Messiah and to tell his family about Jesus. There is such a longing in The Shepherd at the Crib and the Cross as well as wonder and awe.”
Fr. Michael J. Denk
Priest of the Diocese of Cleveland
“The Shepherd at the Crib and the Cross is an inspiring story of a shepherd who meets Jesus at Bethlehem as a youth and later at Calvary as an adult. It is an Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter book all in one.”
Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC
