The story of the Ethiopian Eunuch: Shaba was a great warrior and elder of the city of Napata. He could think of no other way to bring prosperity back to Napata than to offer a sacrificial gift to the Queen. Shaba, and the elders of Napata decide that gift must be Alamani, Shaba’s only son. But before they present Alamani to Queen Amanitore, he is made a eunuch to be more useful in her service. Join Alamani’s journey as he rises from being a lowly servant to a man of great importance in the kingdom of Nubia. Alamani will be schooled in mathematics, engineering and Greek, and then trained as a warrior to be the Queen’s personal body guard. He is later sent by the new Queen to Alexandria, Egypt, to be further educated by studying at the university and learning Latin as Nubia’s new treasurer. While Alamani is there he meets Caleb, a young Jewish man that lives in Alexandria. This starts Alamani down a path that will eventually lead him to go to Jerusalem to worship and then to meet Philip the evangelist in the desert returning home (Acts 8:26-40). The encounter with Philip transforms Alamani and releases his bitterness and allows him to forgive his father and the elders of Napata. The heartwarming ending lets us see the transforming power of the gospel of Christ as Alamani returns home to Nubia. This story has a rich historical context and enough action and character development to keep you in suspense.
