The Fourth Magi

De: Bryan E. Canter

Narrado por: Andy Robert

A sign in the heavens. A journey into the heart of an empire. A secret mission that could cost them everything.

In the hallowed halls of the Parthian Empire, three wise men discover an impossible astronomical event: a triple conjunction of stars not seen in eight hundred years. The celestial message is unmistakable—a king has been born in the west, a ruler destined to shatter empires and usher in a new world order. Compelled by ancient prophecy, they embark on a secret mission to find and honor this prophesied monarch. But for a fourth magus, the cautious and skeptical Artaban, the stars stir not wonder, but dread. Haunted by a father's fatal misinterpretation of the heavens that cost his family everything, Artaban joins the perilous quest convinced he is following his companions into ruin, determined to prevent history from repeating its tragic course.

Thrust into a world of deadly political intrigue, the magi are pursued by shadowy agents from their own court and hunted by the ever-watchful legions of Rome. Their treacherous journey across unforgiving deserts is fraught with bandit ambushes, terrifying omens, and the ghosts of Artaban’s own past. When the signs in the heavens culminate in a miracle that defies all explanation, Artaban must confront the ultimate choice—cling to the bitter safety of his doubt, or risk his life, his kingdom, and his soul on a flicker of faith in a humble child.

From the opulent courts of Parthia to the dusty streets of Bethlehem, The Fourth Magi is a sweeping tale of historical richness, heart-pounding suspense, and profound spiritual discovery. It is an unforgettable reimagining of the Christmas story, exploring the clash of empires, the weight of legacy, and the power of a single moment to transform a life of doubt into one of unshakable faith.

Join Artaban in realizing that the greatest journey is not to find gold, frankincense, or myrrh, but the one true Messiah.

A miraculous journey

I enjoyed taking this journey with the Magi. From start to finish, the story will pull you in as the Magi discover the messiah is soon to come. I highly recommend The Fourth Magi. It's a interesting story of how it might have happened as the wise men traveled in difficult times to bring gifts to the baby Jesus. I finished this story days ago and still it lingers in my mind.

A Reading Of The Skies

I enjoyed this reimagining of the events which occurred in the journey of the Magi as they interpreted the skies and then began their expedition seeking answers. The descriptive phrases made me feel like I was there with the characters. The story evoked new thoughts for me regarding this historical event, and it increased my admiration for those who undertook this difficult and often dangerous excursion. I thought Andy Robert's narration was good. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

The Fourth Magi

The Bible just touches on the story of the Magi (Three Wise Men) traveling to Bethlehem to see the Messiah. This book creates a wonderful background on this aspect of the miraculous birth of Jesus. I learned a lot about the history of the times and the possible dangers that the Magi encountered on their trip. The author brings these characters to life and you can almost see the story unfold as you listen to their tale.

The book is also a story of faith, both lost and found, as the narrator/fourth Magi struggles with his beliefs. The narrator did a great job and his different voices and inflections brought the story to life. This is a great listen for anyone wanting to know more about this fascinating part of the Christmas story or anyone interested in Biblical fiction.

Great

The Fourth Magi by Bryan E. Canter is a great Magic user fiction. Andy Robert did a great job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, inspiring, though provoking, religious, and more.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
