Side-Splitting Humor, Danger, Heartache, Hope & Spiritual Truth

A talking, musical scroll, a pigeon-flying-and-camel-driving mouse, a writing cat, a courageous lamb, and two lion-fighting dogs provide non-stop action in this adventure that brings the Christmas story to life as never before. You will be astounded at the accuracy and perfection of the prophecies and God’s unfolding plan to bring Jesus into the world.

The seven hundred–year mission begins long before the Nativity, as animal friends Max, Liz, Al, Kate, and Nigel work with Isaiah, who prophesies about the coming Messiah. The team intervenes with the Assyrians that threaten to take Jerusalem and prove Isaiah’s prophecies false. They go with faithful Daniel and friends into the Babylonian captivity for the heart-pounding thrills of the fiery furnace and the lions’ den. They meet Gabriel as he appears to Daniel, and hide a secret scroll of prophecy for the wise men to someday discover as they study the Star. The book climaxes with the unfolding Christmas story as the animals once again see Gabriel with Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds.

Experience the hardships of Mary and Joseph as they obediently accept their calling to parent Messiah. Joyfully watch God provide for their every need through a lovable Jewish rabbi who dares to believe them and an unlikely Roman soldier who protects them. The shepherds and the wise men never know their steps are guided by these small animals that lead them to baby Jesus. Relentless in his pursuit is the evil lion, who seeks to devour them and stop the unfolding events leading to Messiah’s birth.

The Prophet, the Shepherd, and the Star

Reviewed by Carly K. for ReadersFavorite.com

"I am no stranger to Jenny Cote’s books. I have been on adventures with Max and Liz before, and I knew Jenny’s new book, The Prophet, the Shepherd and the Star, was going to be another fantastic adventure. Jenny’s books feature Max and Liz, a Scottish Terrier and a black cat, along with a cast of entertaining animal companions who live out actual stories from the Bible with amazing accuracy. The Prophet, the Shepherd and the Star starts out where the last book, The Dreamer, the Schemer, and the Robe left off: telling the nativity story.

Even though this book is intended for juvenile readers, the big kid in me can’t help but love this book and the other books in this series. I found myself laughing out loud and learning as the familiar story of the nativity is told in a wonderful and entertaining way.  It was so nice to see some of my favorite animal characters from previous stories, and I was delighted to meet the new characters.  Jenny writes with a terrific humor that keeps kids and adults laughing and entertained. 

I was not disappointed by any aspect of this book. It is a very long book, over five hundred pages, but it reads very fast and is very difficult to put down. I was actually happy the book was that long because I just didn’t want it to end. Parents can feel very confident in giving their young ones this book to read, but they may want to read it first, because why should kids have all the fun? I loved every moment of this wonderful story. It is another winner by Jenny L. Cote!"

“Wow! A ‘bird’s-eye’ view of the story of Noah’s Ark - not to mention a cat’s-eye view and a dog’s-eye view.  Jenny L. Cote gives us an imaginative re-telling of Noah’s story through the eyes of a menagerie of distinctive animal characters, drawn from all parts of the world. The story is captivating, inspiring, and entertaining as we get a sense of how God so loved the world that he found a way to preserve creation in the largest lifeboat ever created. Come on board!”

 - Doug Peterson, VeggieTales™ Author

“Move over, JK Rowling, there's a new fantasy novelist in town and her name is Jenny L. Cote. She takes the reader on a yearlong journey of mystery, danger, and intrigue aboard Noah's ark. It's a wild adventure that deserves to be on the big screen.”

 -Vonda Skelton, Author, The Bitsy Burroughs Mysteries and Seeing Through the Lies: Unmasking the Myths Women Believe

 “The Ark, the Reed, and the Fire Cloud is one of the most enjoyable books I’ve read in years! I absolutely delighted in the characters and couldn’t help but laugh out loud several times. (And let me tell you, for a comedian that is a rarity!) It’s an epic journey of faith and a marvelous adventure that readers will want to go on again and again. I know I will!”
