The true story of the Magi

Written for young people ages five and up, The Visit of the Wise Men is a picturebook for Christian children that gives the true story of the Magi, countering the popular myth that claims "three Wise Men" were present at Jesus' birthplace. The Visit of the Wise Men explains that the Magi were educated men who recognized the divine signs of the Messiah's birth. Furthermore, The Visit of the Wise Men teaches young Christians that Jesus was sent by God to die for humanity's sins, thus enabling mankind to be forgiven. An excellent addition to church and Christian youth libraries, gloriously illustrated by Lin Wang in a striking watercolor and colored pencil style she has dubbed "ethereal Realism".
