Post by **Zainab Wasif** » 12 Dec 2023, 03:45

"Magi Apprentice" by Dan E. Hendrickson is an exciting historical fiction that brings to life the lesser-known story of the Eastern Magi mentioned in the Bible. The author skillfully weaves a captivating tale around Rassan's journey, his struggles against powerful enemies, and his quest to follow God's plan which is inspiring.

Rassan's journey and discovery is interesting right from the meeting with an old dying man to the idea of reading stars to predict events makes me wonder how it's all done. Don't know a lot of stories about the Persian empire but reading a review a them makes me want to know more

The astronomical aspect of the novel is a surprising and fascinating element. The review effectively conveys how the study of stars played a role in biblical events and highlights the struggle against corrupt interpretations. The author's attention to detail in navigating the politics of the era adds layers to the story.

The intersection of astronomy, politics and religion you describe has me fascinated. I never considered how studies of the stars might have guided the Magi. Clearly this book brings lots of insight into that mystical piece of the nativity story!

The book deserves its five stars. As with all narratives with heroes or heroines, good is expected to triumph over evil and Rassan is being rooted for already. The allegory to the Bible is unmistakable.

It is good to know there's a book like this! Yes, the Bible didn't talk much about the Magi, and I always wondered about them because of the significant role they played. I would love to read about them and the politics and astrology of that era. Thank you for the review.

Hendrickson's meticulous research and storytelling shine in this review. The exploration of the Eastern Magi's history and their connection to biblical events adds depth to the narrative. The mention of political tensions and rivalries of the time piques my interest in understanding the cultural and historical context.

I appreciate the author's creativity in weaving out a fiction story from such an historically important Biblical event. Also, his effort in educating readers in-depth about a story spoken of in passion in the scriptures wasn't unnoticed; that's the greater reason for my appreciation of this book and the author.
