I find Rassan's transformative journey, entwining Biblical references and has historical fiction. The author gave meaningfulnes to Eastern Magi lifting high thier spirit beyond brief scriptural mentions.

I totally look forward to reading this wonderful book. From your review, it is true that the lives of these men from the middle East was not treated. I look forward to learning more about Rassan and his crew.

This well-written historical fiction novel seems to bring to life how much rulers relied on and believed in Magi. This is believable because of the discoveries around Stonehenge and Egyptian pyramids. Great review!

Today's BOTD is a biblical historical fiction novel that's both informative and engaging. Readers of the genre will enjoy this well-researched and written book, especially those who prefer storylines embedded with action, adventure, and romance. Thank you for your helpful review!

Rassan's journey in the parthian army during the period of the Magi Order. Sounds like a very intricate and difficult, yet interesting read, especially for this time of year! Thanks for the review, it made me want to start the book right away!

[Timothy Rucinski]

This is a nicely written review, but I'm not a big fan of Biblical fiction. I'm certain, however, that readers who enjoy this genre of fiction will be pleased with it. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

Much thanks to you for your shrewd audit of "Magi Student" by Dan E. Hendrickson. Your nitty gritty examination catches the creator's expertise in making a convincing story around the Eastern Magi. I value your perceptions on the political and cosmic angles, featuring the profundity and intricacy of the story.

It's reassuring to take note of your positive impressions, especially in regards to the drawing in plot, advanced characters, and the effective fuse of verifiable and social components. Your proposal for perusers inspired by Scriptural verifiable fiction, combined with a five-star rating, says a lot about the book's quality.

All in all, your survey gives a brief yet far reaching outline, making it an important asset for expected perusers. Gratitude for sharing your considerations.

This is a timely book of the day in the lead-up to Christmas. A story of what the wise men went through in the preceding years of Jesus’ birth. The story has pace from the beginning and is full of intrigue and politics of the time.

Rassan is a military officer in the Parthian army when his path crosses with a dying member of an important Magi Order. This divinely destined encounter sets the young man on a journey to discover the Creator's plans and the birth of a prophesied champion. While Rassan has never studied the stars, his new path will show him the way of the Bright and Morning Star that will lead him to places he never imagined. But only as long as the power of good triumphs over the evil forces working against him.

The book create a story surrounding the Eastern Magi depicted in the Bible. While scriptures make only the briefest mention of them, there is a whole history surrounding their existence and the political climate in the Middle East during the years leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ. This author brought his extensive research to life in an engaging story that kept me cheering on Rassan and his allies as the sinister enemies opposing him continued to deceive and manipulate. Hendrickson writes an excellent set of villains, and the struggles they force on Rassan make his story that much more powerful. I loved watching him learn to endure and overcome as he pursued God's plans for his life.

I also enjoyed the astronomical aspect of this novel. Going into this book, I had not realized how much the study of the stars played into Biblical events. It was fascinating to see how the enemies of God fought to corrupt the messages in the stars through alternative interpretations of the alignments despite the Hebrew records created by the prophet Daniel (also known as Belshazzar in Persia). I enjoyed navigating the politics of this era and learning how difficult it would have been for this group of religious astronomers to embark on the perilous journey to find the promised Messiah during the rivalries and tensions of the time.

There was nothing that I disliked about the novel. Hendrickson provided an informative account that helped the reader understand the historical, cultural, and political climate of the final decade in the BC era and shared it in a fascinating story. The author completed another round of revisions, correcting the previously listed errors, and I found no additional typos. Therefore, I gladly give Magi Apprentice five out of five stars.

I'd highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy Biblical historical fiction. Readers who would like to learn about how Daniel's contributions to astronomy would have helped the Eastern Magi find the Messiah generations after his death should find something to enjoy. The book involves action, adventure, romance, and a healthy dose of political intrigue. While there are a few minor instances of swearing and allusions to the duties of the priestesses in service to the goddess Zarpanuta, there is no erotic content. This book certainly brings new light to the backstory of the wise men who traveled so far to bring gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the child born in a manger.

I am quite curious of this book, Magi Apprentice" by Dan E. Hendrickson after reading your amazing review and the sample on Amazon. Knowing that the author has written a biblical historical fiction of the magi and their use of astronomy to find the child born in the manger, definitely makes me want to read this book especially at this time of the year, Christmas time. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

[Upphilan Paul]

Magi Apprentice is an enthralling novel with captivating scenes. The prince tries to prevent the Magi from reaching Jerusalem to find the promised king. I highly recommend it. Congratulations on BOTD!.

When reading the title, I did not expect this book to be able Christ and His birth. While I am sure many parts are very fictional compared to the real parts, this will make for a fun, fantastical read. Thanks for the review!
