The Epic Order of the Seven™ series follows the prequel adventures of The Amazing Tales of Max and Liz®. In Book One: The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star, Max, Liz and the gang have their most important mission yet: preparing for the birth of the promised Messiah. Their seven-hundred year mission takes them to the lives of Isaiah, Daniel and those in the Christmas story. Book Two: The Roman, the Twelve, and the King (September 2012)
It's 1735 London and famous composer George F. Handel is upsettingly passed over by the King of England for the most important musical post in the world. But little does Handel know that God has a far greater assignment - he is to compose the most important piece of music of all time: Messiah. The Order of the Seven team of animals were with Isaiah when he wrote the words, now they will be with Handel as he sets those words to music. Nigel is given the seemingly impossible task of playing a mouse-sized violin in Handel's ear every night to inspire the music of Messiah. But before a single note is played, the team must go back and revisit their time with Jesus.
The animals enter the life of Jesus on the crucial day when he first learns that he is Messiah, and are given the joy of interacting with Jesus who knows who they really are. Working behind the scenes from Jesus’ childhood to adulthood, the team follows Jesus and his twelve disciples through the joy and controversy of Jesus’ ministry leading up to the painful purpose of his coming: the Passion. The Enemy tried to prevent Messiah’s birth – now he will stop at nothing to ensure his death through the Pharisees, Judas, Herod, and Pilate. But everything becomes clear as to why the Cross is the Divine Plan all along. The powerful saga of the Roman family of Antonius continues as Centurion Armandas encounters Jesus across the years, playing a pivotal role in the events of the greatest story ever told.
Before re-entering time in 1741, the animals must retrieve three items from their time with Jesus to bring back for Nigel to accomplish his assignment. The climactic ending leads up to the London premiere of Messiah where the King of England realizes that the King of Kings reigns supreme. Filled with riotous humor, tender moments, intense action, deep spiritual truths, and mind-blowing twists in the folds of history, you will never view the life of Messiah the same way again.
