Hello
Lying in a Manger - In Search of the Savior is a unique look at the birth of Christ from the perspective of four shepherds. Through extended conversations, the shepherds struggle to understand their role in God’s eternal plan to save the world. Part of their conversation centers on the angel Gabriel’s announcement that they would find the Messiah not as a great ruler but as a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.
​
The challenging question for them was, “Which manger?” How would they figure out which manger would be honored to hold the Savior? As they work through their questions and confusion, the reader will also be drawn into the conversation and challenged to search for the Savior in their own life.
