Book Two of The Lost Legend Trilogy ~ J. L. Hardesty
As the story opens, Michael—the young horsemen readers came to know and love in The Lost Legend of the First Christmas—is searching for his father in the company of the three Wise Men whom he met in Bethlehem at the birth of a Miraculous Child.
Not far into this journey, an angel visits Michael and tells him that he has been chosen to escort the Holy Family out of harm’s way. “You must take Mary and Joseph and Jesus to Egypt where you will be their protector until it is safe for them to return to their homeland,” the angel says. Michael obeys and lives for the next decade with this Family—the three who are the source of the most vital mystery the world has ever known.
In this continuation of The Lost Legend, you’ll come to know the Boy, Jesus, and the extraordinary stallion, Zabbai. You’ll ride with Jesus and Michael through the early years when the Son of God began to change the world forever. And, in this segment of the Legend that has been handed down for generations by the keepers of faith and wisdom, you’ll begin to understand the origin of the mystical bond between horses and humans.
From the Back Cover
“It was as though the Child and the stallion were one. No matter the gait, the action, or the speed, the little body of the Boy melded with the great back of the horse and on the wings of a miracle they soared across forever. With only a subtle shift of His balance, a small pressure from His short legs, the Boy communicated and the horse did His will. Gliding across the land, Jesus and Zabbai made the most beautiful picture Michael had ever seen of freedom ~ made sweeter by love and pure devotion.”
Have you ever . . .
~ heard the siren’s song of the horse, echoing down through the ages, beckoning you to touch the wind?
~ wondered about the silent years, when Jesus of Nazareth was just a Boy?
~ thought about the astonishing part played by the horse
in the civilization of the world?
~ wondered why this powerful creature serves humankind so willingly?
If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of these questions, we invite you to ride with us in Book Two of The Lost Legend Trilogy as we continue to explore the mystery that is God’s gift of the horse.
Praise for Escape to Egypt . . .
“If ever there was a story that needed to be told, this is it! Every woman, child, and man who has dreamed of galloping into adventure aboard a horse will treasure The Legend, and read it again and again. Book One was wonderful. Book Two is even better. This Trilogy is destined to become a family tradition and a holiday classic.” - Kevin Ludden, Managing Editor, The Arabian Horse Times
